Four years ago today, first day of USk Manchester 2016! Dinner in the evening with sketching pals, some I'd known for years, some I'd just met. It was cold so I had to share a blanket with Arnaud de Meyer. Manchester is pretty ace actually, it was my first time there.

This day a year ago, fun in Amsterdam at the 10th USk Symposium, especially the workshop with Hugo Costa (in an air con'd cafe above the rooftops; way too hot outside!), then I visited the Ajax stadium (in my Spurs shirt...), then beers in the evening with pals at Amstelhoeck

The River Usk from Crickhowell Bridge

Rivers are a really interesting subject to paint, with the reflections and glistening surface they lend themselves to being a bit more abstract
All my daily paintings are available for £95+P&p

Nine years ago today, Lisbon again, final day of the 2nd USk Symposium, sketching early at Rua de Bica, on a workshop with Asnee Tasna (and Joa Catarino if I recall) and staying up late sketching at Cafe A Brasileira in Chiado

Meanwhile this same date two years ago in Porto, a much bigger USk symposium (6 or 7 times the size of Lisbon 2011 at least), I took a fun workshop with Simo Capecchi on the banks of the Douro. I met Simo at PDX 2010 and took her workshop then, but wandered off sketching then...

Actually it might have been Pedro Cabral who taught that alongside Frank, but I think Liz was taking the workshop too. Here I tried to draw them. All the USk correspondents had a big dinner in Lisbon that night, it was a really fun trip. I really like Portugal, want to go back.

Meanwhile on this day in 2011 I was in Lisbon for USk Symposium and drawing fellow sketchers (here's Rolf, Cristina, Tia, and of course Florian; Lisbon will always make me think of Florian Afflerbach)

und das USK Logo nimmt, grob gerechnet, mehr screen space ein als der Text des Logos °3°

mit der Laute ist das Logo selbstverständlich größer, aber wirkt dennoch halt nicht so massiv wie dieser gelbe Schandfleck unten links

The old railroad bridge that crosses the Russian River on the south side of Healdsburg is still standing but hasn't been used in decades. Someday, the Smart Train may cross this bridge, if it can be retrofitted, otherwise it'll be torn down.

A commission of mine and 's characters! Absolutely blown away. They captured Mariah (Bleachling Barbarian) and Usk (#Ikeshti Operative) so well.

Art done by Kudo, who is a treat to work with!
