Some sketches from ride up to Tempe today #urbansketch

If it's cold where you are it's because we took all your sun. #urbansketching

I don’t usually sketch from photos but sometimes I’m in a spot where I can’t stay for long, so here’s one of those spots, the line for the drive thru pharmacy #usk #urbansketch

Got out on the bike to sketch up in Tempe today! #usk #urbansketch

#postino restaurant on college avenue in Tempe

A couple from the backlog, Postino on College downtown Tempe and Senior Taco on Baseline. As usual sketched on location but added watercolor later #usk #urbansketch

My late entry for #boatober2025, also the first boat I’ve sketched and the only boat I could find lol. This is the dilapidated Jaws boat that’s been parked behind the strip mall at Ray and Rural for several years.

Yikes i haven’t posted in over a week. Here’s a couple of quick car sketches while waiting in the car today #urbansketch #urbansketchers

Really nice. Love the light and mood

lol that’s what we’re calling it then,ok! That west side of Hayden is a great shady spot, I’ve sketched the nipple from there several times now 😝

Sketching in and around ASU in Tempe today. It’s always cool when some stranger comes up out of nowhere and goes “ooooh that’s really cool!” #urbansketching

They should have sent a poet

Wars have been fought for cats less spectacular than he

I spend a lot of time outside this physical therapy place.

Summer’s finally over so I’ve been out sketching a lot the last couple of days, trying to actively look for shadows lately. This is Discovery Hall on Cady Mall at ASU. #usk #urbansketching #asu

Morning Squeeze, a restaurant in Tempe Centerpoint on Mill

A tree on the side of Valley Art Theater

A building on ASU campus

The weather was perfect today so I pretty much spent the whole day sketching in downtown Tempe. Here’s three non-wide format

Added color to the sketch of Gammage, and a couple of other wide 12x6 sketches, one of the old House of Tricks building in its new location, and the other from last week at the pointe Tapatio cliffs. Sketched on location, watercolor at home #urbansketchers

Sketching in Tempe today! Stop 1: Gammage Auditorium. I’ll add color later.

Thank you. You have excellent taste!

Had some time to kill today waiting inside a CVS Pharmacy, finished this up with watercolor at home. #urbansketching #retailsketching

Ink sketch with watercolor of view of intersection of Dobson rd and Guadalupe

Today’s parking lot sketch from the car. Hopefully the last 100+ degree day of the year! This is the corner of Dobson and Guadalupe in Chandler. #usk #urbansketching

Added watercolor to another sketch from this summer. This is the Chuckbox, est. 1972, surrounded by new apartments and hotels. Best burgers on the planet. #usk #tempe #urbansketching

Sketch of the Harry Walker house viewed from a parking lot off Forest

Sketch of the Harry Walker house from 7th st before being moved next to the city hall building

Adding watercolor to some sketches from downtown Tempe this summer.
House of Tricks was a beloved restaurant that was torn down, but the original historic building was saved, I sketched these while it was up on wheels before it was moved around the block. #urbansketchers #tempe #usk

It’s #inktober and we’re breaking all the rules! This morning I’m ignoring the prompts by sketching outside Coffee and Flowers in Tempe! #usk #urbansketchers #urbansketch

Ink and watercolor sketch of Señor Tacos in Tempe

Señor Tacos on Baseline in Tempe, sketched from the car, added watercolor later. Turns out #inktober is just like, a bunch of prompts, and I'm not doing that, so I shall continue just sketching all the stuff that's in front of me! #urbansketchers #urbansketch #usk

The ME Elecmetal industrial plant west of the canal by Kiwanis park in ink and watercolor

Added watercolor to sketch from earlier today.

Went for a short ride this morning and sketched the industrial plant west of the canal by Kiwanis park then sketched this mini while waiting outside an auto repair shop #usk #urbansketch #urbansketchers #pendrawing

Kiwanis Park lake, Tempe AZ

A tree in Kiwanis Park

Orange Mall, ASU, Tempe AZ

Orange Mall, ASU

So it's #inktober, not to be confused with #rocktober. Not sure how this works but I'll just draw and post every day this month. This morning, a stop in Kiwanis Park and then up to ASU. #usk #urbansketch #urbansketchers

I really like R&K "Lotte" sketchink. It dries fast and is waterproof like Carbon Black but it's got slightly less sheen to it. Canson has some mixed media and watercolor spiral bound pads with hard covers that I like because I can remove pages, they fold flat,and the hard back is good on-the-go

“Inktober”??! I’m not done with Inktember yet!

Sketching Hayden Mill from A Mountain last Friday morning. Added color later
