a fresh drawing everyday 
Hi! I’m an Italian urban sketcher and I appreciate your work. all my best! Margot
Thanks a lot for your nice words and your support!
Just came upon your blog today, and I must say that I am so inspired! Hoping all is well over there in Valencia!
Thanks a lot Cecilia! I am glad for your inspiration!
I am an architect and visual artist – please see my work on instagram tkellyw is my name on Instagram. I am starting a new graduate degree in architecture for Indiana University in Columbus, IN (home to a rare collection of modern buildings) where drawing and painting will be primary in our curricula model – in fact, there will be a full visual art studio requirement that will accompany every year (all 3) and be parallel to arch design studio. I invite you to visit us in Columbus, IN – and Id like to stay in touch it seems we have much in common as I too had been teaching drawing and seeing to students at RISD, Harvard GSD, Columbia, Yale and MIT for many years. I thought I was the last of them…. but glad to find you exit
Hello,
Thanks a lot for contacting me.
Your words were a nice surprise, it is rewarding to know we share common concerns, living so far way. I am already following your Instagram account (your oil painting are fantastic!).
That new graduate degree looks exciting; I would love to visit your University. I am struggling hard at my university to keep drawing alive!
I am looking forward to hear from you soon!
All the best
Hugo
