Urban Sketchers from around New Zealand travelled to Whanganui to sketch over a weekend. These are a bunch of sketches and a video from my experience.

 A sketch of the crowd viewing the cars running down the length of Devon Street in New Plymouth during Americarna.
 The Te Henui Cemetery is on our local garden trail every year since it is maintained by a bunch of volunteers. As a result, it actually is a pretty nice garden and not really that creepy at all.
I was going through the year's sketches and noticed a few sketches that didn't get uploaded as I went.  Here's a fish & chip shop that still has a retro light-up sign and even retro branded Air New Zealand carpet on the inside.  I did a quick sketch in my mini-book of this old house in the park. I came back in better weather for a colour version.  This is a view from the cricket ground in Pukekura Park. It looks out towards the Tasman Sea and you can see it on the horizon.  If I am sketching out in the garden, I will try to include weird bugs that might be around. Usually, it's just bees when I have my sketchbook. The really freaky stuff only comes out when I'm not drawing.

 Saturday in Whanganui is a pretty happening place!
 Arcade games in the Top Town Arcade - Saying it like that makes it seem like the perfect place for Play2Win to be in town. As I was drawing and painting, people seemed to come in waves. I'd say it was before and after the times at the movies, which in New Plymouth is just an escalator ride upstairs.
 If you've ever been to Peggy Gordons and thought that you may have had too many, don't worry. It's the building... NOT YOU! The toilet is in what used to be a vault. That door really IS that heavy. So have another.
