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.
The Urban Sketchers logo was created by Italian graphic designer Franco Lancio.

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:
