Yes, there is hope. People like to read big books.

Waves East of Barbados

Waves East of Barbados, a photo by manfred schloesser on Flickr.

Almost there. 250 nautical miles east of Barbados on the 9 December 2013. The wind was increasing and the waves coming from behind lifted the boat but went smooth under it. A feeling like going down a ski slope without a ski. The waves rolling in look gigantic and you hope you do not get wet.

Transatlantic to Barbados 2013, a photo by manfred schloesser on Flickr.

Almost in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you get a feeling how small the humans are. The speed of a sailing boat with 8 knots is almost equal to the speed of a stage coach in the 19th century. Sketched on location 2 December 2013. The colorful sail is a gennaker of 88 square meters (about 1000 square feet). Our position was 15 degree 34´North and 040 degree 5´West (Take a look in Google Earth).

Sketched with pen, ink and watercolor while the boat was rocking and rolling.

***FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***

Urban Sketchers Elects New Executive Board and Advisory Board

Urban Sketchers is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to raising the artistic, storytelling, and educational value of location drawing, promoting its practice and connecting people around the world who draw on location where they live and travel.

On December 9, 2013,  the Urban Sketchers (USk) board of directors reorganized itself into two separate boards: the Executive Board and the Advisory Board.

The Executive Board consists of officers and committee directors who work together to carry out the business and mission of the organization on a day-to-day basis.

The Advisory Board is made up of people with a wide array of experience, knowledge, viewpoints and skills. This group, which includes many former members of the original USk Board, represents the international, multidisciplinary nature of USk. Its members act as advisors to the Executive Board and as advocates for USk’s mission.

With these teams in place, we look forward to a new year of “showing the world one drawing at time".

Transatlantic with sailing yacht Doertita 2013

Transatlantic with sailing yacht Doertita 2013, a photo by manfred schloesser on Flickr.

This sketch I made on the 2nd December at latitude 15 degree 34`North and 40 degree 5 `West in the middle of the Atlantic. We were three guys and it took us 22 days from the Canary Islands to Barbados in the Caribbean. We saw only two other sailing ships, only water, flying fish, clouds and dolphins.
The ship was rolling all the time, so I started with soft pencil and then went under deck to the fine work while trying to hold everything. It was never more difficult to draw for me.
The boat is a forty feet yacht and she carried us safely to Barbados.

Berlin im November

Hier ein paar Skizzen von meinem Novemberwochenende in Berlin.
Schön wars, es hat mich gefreut, mal die Berliner Sketcher kennzulernen, auch wenn ich sie nicht sonderlich treffend zeichnete.

Der Sketchcrawl in der Humboldtbox

Ein Abstecher ins Buchstabenmuseum, das gerade renoviert wurde, aber inzwischen wieder offen hat.

Und schließlich die Rückfahrt, die sich dank der tatkräftigen Mithilfe der Deutschen Bahn um drei Stunden verlängerte...

Kurzstrecke

2 mal je 2 1-Stationen Fahrten in der Berliner S-Bahn. Gesichter stehlen im Zug und auf den Bahnsteigen. Ein Monumentaler Reinigungs-Mann besteigt am Westkreuz die Ringbahn.

                     Recently sketched sleeping workers and people on the train mostly on the 6.30am

neulich skizziert schlafenden Arbeiter in den Zug, meistens 7.30 morgens

Bestempelte U-Bahnfahrer

Bin mit D. und P. in der Ausstellung "Arte Postale" gewesen. Da gab es auch Stempel, die man benutzen durfte, was uns verleitete, wie die Kinder wild drauflos zu stempeln... Ein paar Seiten bestempelt und danach in der U-Bahn und im Café reingezeichnet.

Blitzspaziergänge...

Viel zu selten komme ich gerade vor die Tür. Und diese wenigen Male versuche ich zu zeichnen.

Blick aus dem Büro auf die Tübinger Stiftskirche...

Im Schatten des Blauen Turms in Tübingen.

Ich habe mich das erste Mal versucht, einen Oldtimer zu zeichnen, den ich am Strassenrand entdeckt habe. Also vor der Arbeit den Dreibeinhocker ausgepackt und losgelegt. Leider ist mir das Objekt meiner Begierde kurz vor der Vollendung davongefahren, so dass ich die rechte untere Ecke aus dem Kopf fertigstellen musste. Sieht man.......

Kunstwochenende in Berlin

War am Samstag auf der Vernissage von Christoph Niemann in Berlin. Eine sehr erfrischende und lustige Ausstellung. Unbedingt zu empfehlen!
Das Vernissagenpublikum zeigte neben dem üblichen Schwarz diesmal auch bunte Strumpfhosen, sogar in Neonpink, und wildes Schuhwerk, wie diese dominatauglichen Lackpumps mit Nieten.







Am Sonntag ging es zur artbookberlin, wo Künstler ihre (Buch)werke zeigten und auf Verleger oder Sammler hofften. Man konnte Unikate bestaunen und Siebdrucke oder Holzschnitte kaufen. Habe mir zwei Bücher mit tollen Illustrationen gekauft (gedruckt und zu einem normalen Preis): Märchen von Oskar Wilde und ein Buch mit Texten von Tucholsky und Illustrationen von Klaus Ensikat.

Danach heiße Schokolade und Kuchen im "Fräulein Wild". Eine Wohlfühloase im feuchtkalten November.

Vorstellung

Hello all my name is Conor Coady and I come from Dublin Ireland. I learned about urban sketchers from my wife Antje who is from Binz auf Rügen and has been an urban sketching member since 2010. We both attended the Barcelona symposium this past summer which was a great experience and one which has changed the way I work, it was also a great opportunity to meet so many talented and inspirational artists. Since then we`ve met up with Berlin Urban Sketchers on a couple of occasions and gotten to know some of the regular contributors to the blog (which has been an equally gratifiying experience). We´ve been living in Berlin since 2011 with our cat “Dicke”.

Below are some samples of recent work I´ve done on and off Berlin public transport system, more of which you can find on my blog at http://conorcoady.blogspot.de/
