If you'd like to start your own USk blog and connect urban sketchers in your city, country or region, here's how we can help:
1. Get a group of a minimum of three sketchers together interested in launching the blog.
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 of sketchers.
3. We'll create a blog for you and give you full administration privileges. You'll be able to invite people to participate, personalize it with your own flag, add links and so on. We'll just expect you to swear by the USk manifesto as much as we do. That's all.
Inspired already? Take a look at some folks who've been there done that:

it is absolutely gorgeous, really incredible piece of work. You should be very proud. And Bozeman too. That should be published across america, no words, just the pictures as they are in the book, it's a masterpiece and an inspiration. Well done!!!!!
amazing results from your disciplined pen work
gosh that's an impressive piece of work
Excellent work! Why not approach your chamber of commerce - use your drawings to create postcards and calendars; generate income for the community (and yourself, of course).

Impressive.
SO cool! I just love this...and yes, you really should be able to do something with it and get the Big Picture(s!) out there!
Wow!
Terrific work and showing us the size of your sketchbook makes it more impressive. Show it to the Historical Society and make copies for their files.

Oh Wow! I would love to watch you work.
Wow incredible!
I love your patient style with calm urban views.
Really nice mini sketchbook :)
make a blurb book from it and sell it.

Thanks everyone! Jerry, I might just do that, thanks.
Wonderfully charming,impressive and inspiring!
Congratulations!
cheers for you! it's a great thing when a project like that gets completed!
I'd say, publish the sketchbook! perhaps with a few historical notes? Would be something current and past residents would love to have, and will become a historical textbook when it's all gone! Maybe you'll have to do it again every 25 years :)
Congrats Paul, you must have a great sense of accomplishment. This is an awesome project.
Speechless! What an accomplishment.
wow, what an irresistible documentary for your town!
I agree with your other admirers - this is an impressive and inspiring BOOK! Let us all know when it will be published...
wonderful!
I love this project! And your style is lovely. I've been to Bozeman and it's a great town- you captured it perfectly. I agree with others that you should publish these in some form- blurb book, calendar, notecards.
I'm really very, very impressed by this project.
Congratulations on a wonderful accomplishment! I hope you take some time off to eat gelato (or something), go swimming, take a long walk before you begin your next chef d'oeuvre! So... what will it be? ;D
Bravo !
Dude. Nice work. I tried to do this sort of thing in Europe and was just overwhelmed. Very impressive, keep up the good work.
congratulations, your sketchbook looks truly good and I have nothing to add to all its been said
Thanks! I think I will contact the city to see if they have any interest in turning the project into a book or postcards or a series of prints.
totally awesome!!! You absolutely must publish it somehow! I would buy a copy!!!!
Your sketches are gorgeous! Super clean lines & love the contrast.
Congratulations, and great work!
Now, to start on the next street...
Superb stuff. So impressive, so beautiful...
