A print of my Jakarta street drawing at 57 x 9 inches on its way to Feny in Portland. Thank you Feny.
This is a print of a long (83 x 12 inches) pen & ink drawing I made in 1998 for a book I wrote about Jakarta, but which was never used in the end. Drawn with a Rotring Isograph if you remember them. Great pens. If you’re into pens.
Somewhere in Groningen from yesterday’s sketchcrawl with the Urban Sketchers Netherlands. It was pretty cold, so I didn’t sketch or crawl too much. But me and Gail found a sweet spot in a cafe, and I drew this from the window.
Cycling through the Amsterdam rain is no fun.
Sketch of Hemkade—Amsterdam’s industrial north west, seen from across the North Sea Canal at Zaandam. Drawn in grey ink, charcoal, gel pen and coloured pencil.
Ink and pencil from somewhere in Utrecht.
Drawing of Plaza de Isabel II in Madrid. The right side is drawn in situ, and the left side back at the hotel from a photo on my phone.
