Urban Sketchers (USk) 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'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.

the cars are really special
Dynamic car drawings, you had a busy honeymoon. Great body of work.
Yes, wonderful drawings and I agree, busy honeymoon! Your wife must have a lot of patience for you to have made so many drawings! The cars are great; especially like the extreme view on the old Cadillac.
merci!
I spent the last afternoon sketching this cars (during this time my wife was at the manicure) and I'm so jealous to not have cars like that in europe.
and for sure my wife is really patient, but she also aware that I need to doodle nearly daily, that's how she loves me ;)
