Urban Sketchers on the GO
Ao contrário do costume vai aqui um grande texto, mas é um assunto que me deixa orgulhoso (embora não tenha contribuído em nada para isto) e que acho valer a pena divulgar.
Urban Sketchers establish nonprofit to foster the art of on-location drawing
Dec. 15, 2009 — Urban Sketchers, a group blog with the motto "see the world, one drawing at a time," is now officially a nonprofit organization.
Since launching in late 2008, the Urban Sketchers blog and sister flickr group have become popular online outlets for people to share their location drawings. Thousands visit daily for inspiration or to travel vicariously through the visual dispatches from hundreds of contributors on six continents. The blog and its artists have been featured in magazines (MyMidwest, Anima(ls) and The Artist's Magazine) and newspapers (Público in Portugal, La Repubblica in Italy and The Bangkok Post in Thailand).
Now the Urban Sketchers nonprofit organization aims to serve this global community better by organizing educational workshops and raising funds for grants, scholarships and publications to foster the art of on-location drawing.
Gabriel Campanario, a Seattle-based journalist who founded Urban Sketchers, said the nonprofit's goal is to raise the artistic, educational and storytelling value of location drawing.
"Through fundraising and donations, we want to support artists around the world who document life in their communities. Everyone can feel enriched by the work urban sketchers do because drawing is a universal language," Campanario said.
The idea of sketching wherever we are has caught like wildfire, explains board member Cathy Johnson, a watercolorist from Kansas City. "The Web makes it possible to share our drawings and the unique characteristics of our area. Urban Sketchers brings it home," she said.
That sense of community has spread quickly across borders, helping the new organization attract a membership base in more than 50 countries in its first year.
"To connect through drawing on a global scale is exciting and a privilege that few have," said board member Veronica Lawlor, an illustrator from New York City. "Our organization strives to extend that privilege to others."
The organization also announces its new logo today. It was created by Italian graphic designer Franco Lancio in collaboration with Simo Capecchi, board member and Naples correspondent.
"The logo shows a sketchbook with random windows to watch through. They are a symbol of the mess of a city and the sketchers' different points of view," Capecchi said.
The organization's newly formed board reflects the global nature of the Urban Sketchers community:
•Tia Boon Sim is an architect turned educator at Temasek Design School, Singapore. Besides her passion for location drawing, she creates objects with clay and fires them in a wood kiln. In 2003, she earned the Pratt Circle Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement during her two-year study with Pratt Institute in New York.
•Matthew Brehm (Secretary) is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of Idaho. Each summer, he leads an eight-week architecture program in Rome, Italy, with an emphasis on location drawing.

•Gabriel Campanario (Chairman) is a Spanish-born journalist and illustrator living in the U.S. Since the early '90s, he has worked for newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic, including La Vanguardia in Barcelona, Diario de Noticias in Lisbon and USA Today in the Washington DC area. He currently works as a news artist for the Seattle Times, where he publishes the blog and weekly feature Seattle Sketcher.
•Simonetta Capecchi (Vice Chair) is an Italian architect and illustrator based in Naples. Since 2006, she has curated the annual exhibit on travel sketchbooks, In viaggio col taccuino. Her sketchbooks have been included in many exibitions and collective books.

Urban Sketchers Portugal
Já está!
Apareceu.
Por obra de uns entusiastas e empenhados desenhadores nasceu o USkP Urban Sketchers Portugal.
Já fazia falta. Ainda bem que se deram ao trabalho.
E ainda por cima convidaram-me a participar. Obrigado.
A primeira “encomenda” surge hoje, 2009.12.08, e trata-se de uma refeição. Apenas o desenho, claro.
Pela minha parte foi logo ao pequeno almoço mas vale a pena visitá-los ao longo do dia porque, a julgar pelas anteriores amostras, haverá desenhos a não perder.
Não percam!

Modemless
Desta vez foi o modem que pifou.
Estou sem rede...
Novos bonecos dependem da assistência Zon Netcabo e, a julgar pelas anteriores experiências, vai ser demorado e desgostoso.
I am out of modem. Netless.
New posts postponed.

Ainda os desenhos de Lagos
Não me lembro como se chama este forte mas dantes, não havia marinas nem sequer em Vilamoura e todo o Algarve dos barcos e das regatas se passava aqui mesmo, na praia ao lado do Forte.

Diários Gráficos. Desenhos em Cadernos
A exposição em Lagos está óptima.
Muitos dos desenhos já conhecidos de alguns blog estão expostos no original. São ainda melhores!!!
Há um ano, quando começaram os Urban Sketchers, o primeiro desenho foi do Lapin.
O mesmo que também esteve em Lagos. Foi uma experiência notável ver folhear e apreciar no original os cadernos que o Lapin e outros autores mostraram na ocasião.
Uma exposição bem organizada e bem montada. Um excelente catálogo.
Estão de parabéns comissários, organizadores e anfitriões.

Parabéns Urban Sketchers
Foi ontem a vernissage da exposição de diários gráficos em Lagos mas sobre isso falarei depois.
Hoje a notícia é o aniversário do Urban Sketchers, uma idéia fabulosa do Gabi Campanário que teve, neste primeiro ano de vida, mais de um milhão de visitas (!!!) o que perspectiva outros voos (ainda) mais altos...

Quinta da Valmarinha
Com a ajuda do Rio das Maçãs e do LG identifiquei a Quinta da Valmarinha.
Voltei lá. Continua linda mas já lhe faltam mais algumas peças.
Não me importava de fazer ali obras de recuperação.
