Remember the Japanese folding sketchbook from last year? I filled one side of it with a crowd! I’m planning to finally fill the blank side, and I’m keeping my promise to Carla Silveira and Celeste Vaz Ferreira, who, one year ago, suggested on instagram that I should do one hundred hands next. Thanks for the idea girls!

Urban Sketchers Portugal general assembly convened on April 1st. The official annual meeting had a moderate crowd, almost like a family gathering, except that it had powerpoints and spreadsheets.

Urban Sketchers Algarve and the Municipality of Portimão invited us to teach a full-day workshop, and we decided to give a a test run to a programme that we had prepared before. It’s called “The narratives of architecture and the people that experience it“

Last week, Liz Steel and Marc Taro Holmes challenged sketchers worldwide to spend a workweek sketching one hundred people.

Thousands of people took the challenge worldwide. Liz and Marc can be proud that they made the world sketch quickly and loosely for a single week.
