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

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.

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

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

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

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
