Urban sketches are thriving and I am happy to currently represent London on it (along with the celebrated blogger Katherine Tyrrell of Making the Mark)! 28 correspondents from around the world draw and tell stories about their respective cities and travels. The number of unique visitors on the site is amazing and the quality of work is so high, it’s intimidating at times. I am loving to participate in this exercise and posted my first bit on it just today.

We had a great weekend in London: crispy fall light and stark shadows, ruffling leaves. Got to see the concert at the ICA by the Sads - they play their melancholic sweet music straight into the headphones, so if you had none, all you get is the tapping of feet on the ground; really cool effect. Later on stopped by the Roundhouse at Covent Garden to sketch this two elderly couples (pic on the right) taking their pint pre- or post-theater. And then went on to Stanfords’s travel bookstore (pic on the left) to pick up some maps for the upcoming driving trip in Italy (yey!).
