In the hood

 Had a chance to draw a street artist at work in Penge yesterday.

Difficult as the painting is very physical and they are up and down their ladder.

Managed a quick sketch of the artist @illuzina when she took a rest to check her 'phone.

See the finished piece in Maple Road, Penge, London.

Back to 'On the Hoof' bisto this weekend to draw the very shiny coffee machine.

Last of my sketches from 'On the Hoof' - fascinated by the interior design more than the people for once!

Timberyard Exhibition

The London Urban Sketchers are exhibiting work at a new café/workspace in Covent Garden, London.  James Hobbs asked me if I would like to show some work with them, so I’ve got several of my sketchbooks on display.  The show will be up until March – please pop by and take a look if you are in the area!

This must be one of the nicest views from a Starbucks coffee shop - perched by one of the beautiful Art Nouveau balconies at the iconic Galeries Lafayette in Paris.
