Urban Sketching

A fairly typical concertina drawing, this one contributing to Figures of Tyne, a project led by Steve Padue, with our respective artworks currently on show in the Grainger Market Arcade, Newcastle.

Groups I sketch with :

Urban sketching is sociable and a prompt to get outside in the world. It’s the opposite to the isolation that drawing can sometimes lead to. I urban sketch with groups in Bradford, Leeds, Huddersfield, York, Tyne Wear and Tees, Berwick, Hexham, Edinburgh and Cumbria.

Urban Sketches

Hexham

Folk Festivals (this one is Shetland)

Bradford

When groups of my urban sketches form a coherence I like to turn them into zines or other printed sequences. I also experiment with narratives that turn them into comics of a sort.
