St Andrews Wesley United Church, Vancouver

Sat across the street on the corner of Burrard and Nelson and drew the corner tower of the church. One day I am going back to draw the whole church.

Old House

I have to start working on my urban sketching.

On the Skytrain

The Skytrain is the elevated commuter system in and around Vancouver.

"Handcar", CPR station, Port Moody BC

Port Moody was the original western terminus for the Canadian Pacific Railway, before it went to Vancouver. This is a hand operated "handcar" which would carry a couple of men down the tracks for maintenance jobs. The old station and some equipment are now a heritage site.

Vancouver Jazz Festival

This guy was playing at David Lam Park Vancouver BC Canada during the 2009 jazz fest, cool man.

St Pauls London

From our trip to England in May 2009.

Whitby

Drew this from a sketch I made in Whitby, England last May. A hillside of houses.

West Coast Express, Vancouver BC

Looking down on the commuter train from Nickis condo. These trains come down the Fraser Valley in the am and go back in the pm loaded with nine to fivers.

Up in the bucket

City of Vancouver work crew fixing the wires at Broadway and Laurel.

More Coffee

St. Pauls from the Millenium Bridge, London

I saw this in May on our trip to the UK. Drew it from a photo, so not strictly according to the Urban Sketch rules of actually drawing on site. Couldn't resist doing the drawing.

Power Poles, Port Moody BC

Drew this for the Urban Sketchers discussion group on flickr, the topic this week is power poles.

Langley Townhouses

Langley BC has gone from rural to pretty urban in recent years. Sat in a coffee shop and drew these townhouses with my neat new pen, a Sakura SumoGrip II gel 05, waterproof ink etc. Maybe I draw just so I can cruise the art supply stores.

Port Moody

Port Moody BC Canada has a new high rise condo village. Retail stores on the ground floor, residences above. Windows everywhere. A very convenient place to live and shop.
