Treffen Sie den Korrespondenten: Chris Haldane > Sydney, Australien
Das Zeichnen hat mich schon immer fasziniert. Wenn meine Familie mich als kleines Mädchen nicht finden konnte, brauchte sie nur zum Bücherregal zu gehen, und schon war ich da und zeichnete in ihren Büchern! Nach einer Karriere als Lehrerin habe ich vor kurzem ein Kunststudium abgeschlossen und genieße die Zeit, die ich jetzt [...]
Treffen Sie den Korrespondenten: Harshad Arole > Pune, Indien
I am neither trained as an architect nor as an artist, which I believe reflects in my urban sketches. I try to compose a view using a juxtaposition of various elements which characterise a particular location. The striking architectural facet of a building will always dominate but if it is complemented by the people, vehicles, […]
Meet the correspondent: T.K. Justin Ng > Hong Kong
I am an architecture student and I record and share my life and travels through my sketches. I started sketching on location in 2013 and I have since fallen in love with it. Through each drawing, I observe, distill, and record the places I visit. This allows me to gain a far deeper understanding of […]
Treffen Sie die Korrespondentin: Erika Brandner > Santiago, Chile
Ich lebe in Santiago de Chile. Ich bin Gründungsmitglied von Urban Sketchers Chile, einem Grafikdesigner und Reiseleiter für deutschsprachige Touristen, die Santiago, den Hafen von Valparaiso und die umliegenden Weinbautäler besuchen. Als Grafikdesigner habe ich viele Jahre in der Grafik- und Werbebranche gearbeitet. Aber in meinem Inneren gibt es [...]
Treffen Sie den Korrespondenten: Fred Baele > Harare, Simbabwe
Mein Name ist Fred. Solange ich denken kann, habe ich beim Zeichnen Frieden gefunden. Vor einigen Jahren, als ich zu arbeiten begann, hörte ich auf, regelmäßig zu zeichnen, und dann ganz. Ich hatte viele Ausreden: Kinder, Verpflichtungen, Dinge... aber ich habe einfach etwas in mir selbst verloren. Ich habe erst 2012 wieder angefangen. All das, um [...]
Meet the Correspondent: Peggy Wong > Kuching, Malaysia
Trained as an architect, I have an innate passion for the built environment. I started sketching as a form of observation and documenting the disappearing architecture of our past, in my hometown Kuching, on the island of Borneo. I keep a sketch journal to document daily things, travel stories and design ideas. Kuching, Old Town […]
Meet the correspondent: Béliza Mendes > Luxembourg
I live in Luxembourg, one of the smallest countries of the world, lost between its big neighbours, France, Belgium and Germany. In our corner of Europe it is easy to be overlooked and even people driving through might miss the fact that they have been here. It is, however, a beautiful country rich in history […]
Treffen Sie den Korrespondenten: Richard Sheppard > Sonoma County Weinland
“In the 1980s, I earned a B.A. in Studio Art at Arizona State University. After relocating to San Francisco, I studied illustration at the Academy of Art University, under Barbara Bradley, Barron Storey, and Howard Brodie. At the Academy, sketchbooks were required and it was there that I began plein air sketching. Sketching in public […]

“The dictionary says that a hobby is “an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation.” Although urban sketching certainly provides both pleasure and relaxation, I don’t think of it as my hobby. I think of it more as a way of life – something that has become such a normal part of my everydayness […]
Jeroen Janssen
At kindergarten I appeared to be no good for much except drawing. I studied graphic arts at Sint-Lucas in Ghent, and later taught in the art school in Nyundo, Rwanda. I publish graphic novels and short stories, and work for magazines, such as Zone 5300 (NL), Mo* (B) and XXI (F). I am currently working […]
