Currently, Sketching House only works on Firefox. When we were hacked a few weeks ago, the hacker messed with our coding, making the site basically unavailable on Internet Explorer. We will let you know when this issue is fixed.
In the meantime, we’ve updated the About Us and Art Gallery sections of our site. We also watermarked our images given a recent art theft that occurred. DISCLAIMER: If you want to use images from our website, please email us at sketchinghouseonline@gmail.com and ask for permission. Let us know where an image will be used and why. Additionally, please link back to Sketching House. These are the only rules.
More updates to come. Thank you for your patience.

I say it again: YOU ARE THE BEST!
