I’ve finally received the digital files for a commisison I did a couple of months ago. The drawings were for the marketing suite of a prestigious new office building in Manchester city centre (One St. Peter’s Square: developer Argent, architect Glenn Howells), and it was decided that the artwork would be in the style of […]
O facto de ter escrito este mês em Buxton fez-me perceber que me tinha esquecido de publicar os meus esboços da reunião de Junho do USk Yorkshire em Manchester. Choveu (está a ver um padrão agora, acho eu...?). Tive de me abrigar debaixo de um velho arco ferroviário para conseguir este quadro, mas valeu a pena. Simplesmente adorei tudo isso [...]
Urban Sketchers Manchester were invited to sketch at the ‘Big Green Happening’ festival in Manchester yesterday. It was at St Clement’s church, which is in Chorlton – a leafy cosmopolitan south Manchester suburb, and the event was about promoting sustainability and a greener way of life. Lots of really interesting eco-businness in attendance including quirky […]

I concentrated on 2 drawings; one on a platform and one in the distractingly busy […]
I was pleased to have the opportunity to sketch this orchestra over a couple of days. They’re based in Media City UK on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal in Salford. The BBC’s move marked a large-scale decentralisation from London, and the North of England has profited from this. It took at least the […]
view from atrium looking towards St Peter’s Square Yesterday we met at Manchester City Art Gallery. Our first sketching session post radio interview and we had a fabulous turnout of over 30 people! Lots to draw and great to see such enthusiasm with urban sketching especially from new attendees. I braved the weather for the […]
O White Lion tem a sua esplanada-cervejaria dentro das muralhas em ruínas de uma antiga povoação romana. A guarnição original era provavelmente povoada por legionários de Espanha e da Roménia, e deve ter parecido um posto avançado muito escuro, frio e húmido no limite do Império Romano... Castlefield era simplesmente conhecida como "o castelo [...]
