Drawing more attention

We haven’t even started yet but there’s already some expectation about Urban Sketchers (US). What some folks are saying:

• Armand Frasco (Moleskinerie) says in this post that “this site promises to be one of the best around.”

• Katherine’s Tyrrell (Making a mark) picked up Armand’s post and added US to her list of art blogs who made a mark this week.

• Canadian journalist Renato Zane illustrated his post about US with his own sketches.

• Content Design Group, a design firm based in Jacksonville, Florida, has a post about US on their blog and wonder who’s going to be our correspondent in Jacksonville.

• And last but not least, Bilkent University Preparatory School in Ankara, Turkey, also blogged about US here. In a very nice e-mail, their art teacher told me how this blog would be a great resource for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students who are learning about using sketchbooks. So, there you go, the future generation of urban sketchers is already watching.
