pa- devient wapa
pa-, c'était une idée commune à niko et moi, une envie de se retrouver entre potes, d'organiser de belles expos et d'éditer un joli magazine. mais ces dernières années, le collectif était en perte de vitesse.
pour redynamiser tout ça, beesub a pris le relais, et a créer wapa! toujours un collectif, des expos et des éditions, mais une ouverture internationale et une plateforme très pro. la première expo wapa, ce sera le 7 janvier au café rouge à paris, et mes gribouillages en feront parti.

urban sketchers non profit organisation
I share the press release since I'm part of the board of directors!
Dec. 15, 2009 — Urban Sketchers, a group blog with the motto "see the world, one drawing at a time," is now officially a nonprofit organization.
Since launching in late 2008, the Urban Sketchers blog and sister flickr group have become popular online outlets for people to share their location drawings. Thousands visit daily for inspiration or to travel vicariously through the visual dispatches from hundreds of contributors on six continents. The blog and its artists have been featured in magazines (MyMidwest, Anima(ls) and The Artist's Magazine) and newspapers (Público in Portugal, La Repubblica in Italy and The Bangkok Post in Thailand).
Now the Urban Sketchers nonprofit organization aims to serve this global community better by organizing educational workshops and raising funds for grants, scholarships and publications to foster the art of on-location drawing.
Gabriel Campanario, a Seattle-based journalist who founded Urban Sketchers, said the nonprofit's goal is to raise the artistic, educational and storytelling value of location drawing.
"Through fundraising and donations, we want to support artists around the world who document life in their communities. Everyone can feel enriched by the work urban sketchers do because drawing is a universal language," Campanario said.
The idea of sketching wherever we are has caught like wildfire, explains board member Cathy Johnson, a watercolorist from Kansas City. "The Web makes it possible to share our drawings and the unique characteristics of our area. Urban Sketchers brings it home," she said.
That sense of community has spread quickly across borders, helping the new organization attract a membership base in more than 50 countries in its first year.
"To connect through drawing on a global scale is exciting and a privilege that few have," said board member Veronica Lawlor, an illustrator from New York City. "Our organization strives to extend that privilege to others."
The organization also announces its new logo today. It was created by Italian graphic designer Franco Lancio in collaboration with Simo Capecchi, board member and Naples correspondent.
"The logo shows a sketchbook with random windows to watch through. They are a symbol of the mess of a city and the sketchers' different points of view," Capecchi said.
The organization's newly formed board reflects the global nature of the Urban Sketchers community:
•Tia Boon Sim is an architect turned educator at Temasek Design School, Singapore. Besides her passion for location drawing, she creates objects with clay and fires them in a wood kiln.

petit déjeuner catalan
vous ne rêver pas, c'est bien un petit déjeuner saucisse-haricots-bière auquel j'ai eu droit hier matin, peu après 10h, lors de la colla dels dimecres. j'ai rejoint une fois de plus ce groupe de joyeux aquarellistes qui se retrouvent chaque mercredi, et cette fois pour une cession spéciale gastronomie, accompagné de cesar, l'un des aficionados du sketchcrawl de barcelona.
et puis naturellement, les carnets sur la table, nous avons dessiné.
puis nous sommes allé vers la plaça espanya:
avant de jouer les prolongations avec cesar au mnac:
pour la forme une photo de groupe! plus de photos, et une superbe aquarelle ici.
look at that! this is the typical catalan breakfast: sausages (butifarra) and beans…
I join yesterday morning, and for the 3rd time, "la colla dels dimecres", the weekly meeting of the aquarellist of barcelona, join by cesar, that I met during the sketchcrawl.
we start sketching during the meal, and then went to "plaça espanya".
we continue sketching with cesar going to the "mnac" (museum of art).
more photos here.
que pasada! fue por la tercera vez a "la colla dels dimecres", la entrevista de los acuarelistas de barcelona (que ocurre cada miércoles por la mañana), a desayunar.
y no cualquiera desayuno, pero "el" desayuno catalan: butifarra y judías, mas una caña, y eso a las 10h de la mañana…
la verdad que con este menú, no he tenido hambre hasta la noche ;)
fuimos a dibujar la plaça espanya (y la arena en obra) y después al mnac con cesar…
mas fotos y una acuarela estupenda aquí!

la nuit, je mets mes lunettes de super héro et dessine dans vos rues…
j'ai dégoté ce petit bijou du design seventies au marché aux puces de barcelona, et après une restauration plus que méritée, ça marche: j'ai 2 lampes orientées vers mon calepin, et des piles accrochées aux oreilles. imaginez le look que j'arbore désormais.
