ABOUT
Urban Sketchers is a network of artists around the world who draw the cities where they live and travel to. We have this blog, which is by invitation, and a Flickr group where anyone can share their location drawings. USk was started by Seattle journalist and illustrator Gabriel Campanario.
Our Manifesto
1. We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.
2. Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.
3. Our drawings are a record of time and place.
4. We are truthful to the scenes we witness.
5. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.
6. We support each other and draw together.
7. We share our drawings online.
8. We show the world, one drawing at a time.
More about USk
If you want to start your own USk blog and connect all urban sketchers in your city, here's how to go about it:
1. Get a group of a minimum of 3 sketchers together interested in launching an USk blog for your city. 2. Send your names and e-mail addresses to urbansketchers at gmail dot com with a brief paragraph stating your interest in launching the blog and how you plan to keep it fresh and engage your community. You will be the blog's administrator and will be expected to run it following the rules of the group. A blog that becomes a showcase of drawings made from photos or doodles will obviously not fly. 3. We'll create the blog and give you full access to it. You'll be able to invite people to participate, personalize it with your own flag, add links and more. So, what are you waiting for? Get your fellow citizens out to sketch!
To become a member of the Urban Sketchers network email us a link to your urban sketches (blog tag or flickr set) and we'll add you to the list. Note: That will not make your drawings show on the blog but we'll keep a close eye on your work as we look for new correspondents. We also feature work by USk members on the blog on a regular basis. Send an email with your name, city and URL to urbansketchers at gmail dot com to join.
Keep up with fellow
