Did a little test today, maybe some more to come on this theme

time for an update!

2011-07-27T11:18:00.001-07:00

So I have been completely lazy the last year, and have not updated much at all on this blog, so I'm setting my sights high and I'm gonna try and do at least one new blog per week, starting today...yay!

Have some commuters!

Couple of commuters!

2011-06-29T00:50:00.000-07:00

Well, it's been a while, slowly trying to get back into blogging again!

A little update...

2011-04-05T11:51:00.000-07:00

The new children's TV series I'm working on has been officially announced today, here it is....

Hence why this blog has been a little slow moving of late!

2011-02-04T16:24:00.000-08:00

This is my first entry into the Caricaturama Showdown 3000 competion. Mr Tommy Lee Jones has a very interesting face to draw, so interesting it made it really hard to try and break it down into simple shapes!!

This was drawin in Noodlers Ink with a Dip Pen on 300gm watercolour paper.

A collection of commuter sketches this week.

Train commuter

2011-01-10T13:58:00.000-08:00

Yay, return of the Brush Pen! Still quite rusty drawing with it though.

Some fellow commuters sketched today.

2011-01-07T14:27:00.000-08:00

My Brush Pen broke last night so I've had to resort to sketching in pencil again :(

What's this?

2011-01-05T15:06:00.000-08:00

That's right some actual movement on this poorly, neglected blog! Well with the new year comes new ambitions, or the same ones as last year, but with the renewed hope of coming close to meeting them! So I give to you some rather stiff and stilted drawing, in hope to show improvement throughout the new year. Hopefully without boring you all to death with my sketches or attempts at humour.

train peoples!!

2010-07-24T02:20:00.000-07:00

I really apologise for the lack of postings over the last few months, again I've been super, super busy! However I managed to do a little bit of sketching from the train yesterday and tried to capture stuff as it whizzed passed my window!

Cappello sketch

2010-06-28T15:07:00.000-07:00

Whilst a newspaper was at hand on my commute back home tonight, I did a rough sketch of
Cappello (who incidentaly was the main topic for discussion in British papers today). I used my Tablet PC and sketchbook pro for this one

It's been a long time!

2010-06-26T06:34:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the long long delay in posts, I've recently changed jobs with a much larger commute so I get less time posting stuffs onto my blog! Here's a few little sketchies to keep things moving ;)

I haven't sketched a portrait in ages so I thought I'd give it another go today on my train ride back from work.

Victorian Bathing Machine
Originally uploaded by Alex Crowhurst

Outside Langhams Hotel (Royal Parade) Eastbourne, sits a rather eye catching Victorian bathing machine. For those who don't know, these machines/carts were used in victorian times to allow people to wade in the sea at beaches without violating victorian notions of modesty!

Curzon Cinema

Curzon Cinema

I believe this Curzon Cinema is the original cinema of Eastbourne and is the only one left in the town centre. Amazingly it has survived the arrival of the more modern cinemas that sit outside of the town. Hopefully it will continue to survive and show films for many more years to come!

Urban Sketchers celebrate one year of drawing around the world

2009-11-02T23:12:00.000-08:00

1st anniversary Press Release

Stuart Kerr, a correspondent of the Urban Sketchers blog, drawing in the streets of Edinburgh.

Urban Sketchers celebrate one year of drawing around the world

A year after making its debut in November 2008, the Urban Sketchers group blog has drawn more than 1 million visits and established a network of hundreds of members in more than 50 countries.

From Venice to San Francisco, Greece to Bhutan, readers of the blog can travel vicariously through the thousands of drawings posted by 100 invited correspondents. Admire a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic of Liège, Belgium, drawn from a roof. Take in a driver's view of Bangkok traffic or the atmosphere of a flea market in Mauritania. It's all captured by the artists drawing scenes from their daily lives on location in cities across the globe. Sketches from concerts, airports, cafés or even cemeteries, show the world one drawing at a time, as the Urban Sketchers motto goes.

A sister group on flickr, the popular image-sharing site, has attracted more than 2,000 members and inspired people to draw their surroundings and share their sketches online. "It was amazing to discover other people doing the same thing," says Omar Jaramillo, an urban sketcher in Catania, Italy. "Since I have been in the group I have learnt a lot from other fellow sketchers. You get a lot of feedback and inspiration from the community."

"Urban Sketchers has been my homepage since Spring 2009. It has changed the way I look at the world — everywhere I look now, I think about how I could draw it!" said Isabelle Laliberté, a member in London.

Looking ahead to the coming year, Urban Sketchers founder Gabriel Campanario intends to formalize the project as a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the artistic, storytelling and educational value of location drawing. "As a nonprofit, we'll raise money to give grants and scholarships to artists," said Campanario, a Seattle-based journalist and illustrator. "We also aim to do an annual book and organize an international meetup every one or two years."

Urban Sketchers by the numbers
100 correspondents.
More than 3,500 blog posts with drawings from 56 different countries.
More than 3,000 blog subscribers.
More than 2,000 members on sister flickr group.
Nearly 20,000 drawings on flickr.

2009-10-29T15:15:00.000-07:00

....an extremely, lazy while (i'm even too lazy to think of a good excuse), very little sketching done over the last few months, not good! Anywhooo here's a sneak peak of some artwork I've been working on, it's for a bands CD album.

Shameless plug alert!
