I just returned from a wonderful month long yoga teacher training and vacation in Sydney and Melbourne. Other than spending lots of time doing yoga (6 days a week for 1 month), I also had the privilege of meeting and sketching with local aussie sketchers from USk-Sydney and USk Melbourne. They were all very hospitable and lots of wonderful time sketching together. I must not forget my dear friend Liz Steel who came to hangout with me in Sydney. Countless cafe hopping sessions, lots of coffee drinking and of course busy sketching when we are not eating or chatting. It was in Australia that I had my 1st CRONUT (Croissant + Donut) and CRUFFIN (Croissant + Muffin) too.
The highlight of my trip was USk-Melbourne's invitation to give a talk about my Urbansketching journey over the last 5 years. This is the first time that I actually documented my own journey which started in 2010 and super amazed to see the different phases I went through. My thinking and sketching was very different then. I can now see where and when I shifted. I think I progressively became more and more wild and crazy too. The morning of the event we had an overwhelming crowd of 60 who turned up to listen and sketch with me. Lots of first timer eager to find out more about Urbansketchers too.


You can view more of my sketches and photographs here or here.
