Where Sketchbook Adventurers Gather:


Here are my current favorite places to connect with others who share a passion for sketchbook adventures:


Urban Sketchers:  This site is a collective of urban sketchers from around the globe.  Started by Seattle Sketcher Gabi Campanario (one of the contributors in my book), it’s always got something new and amazing.  It’s the best way to armchair travel ever!

Sketchcrawl: This is where you’ll find out about the next scheduled World Wide Sketchcrawl event - started by Enrico Casarosa.

Everyday Matters on flickr:

Danny Gregory’s book ‘Everyday Matters’ was one of the catalysts that started my sketching habit/addiction.  It did the same for many, many people, all of whom like to share their work here:

They post a weekly drawing challenge you can participate in.  Lots of fun!


If you have or know of a group that should be listed here:



I’ll add it to this site.


Thanks!
