Mário Linhares

This is really a big project that can always growing along your travel

Yesterday I spoke with Mário Linhares, which is one of the behind administrator of Urban Sketchers Portugal, about the project World Sketching. He did like the idea crossing the world searching for urban sketchers members and live with them along the trip, sharing sketches and different ways of drawing. We also agree that could be great to have documented in the trip some interviews, and draws with video.

Was really nice to talk with Mário and at the end he said “this is really a big project that can always growing along your travel”.

Ontem encontrei-me com o Mário Linhares, que é um dos administradores do blog Urban Sketchers Portugal, para falarmos sobre o projecto World Sketching. Ele gostou da ideia de andar a viajar pelo mundo, ir encontrando os vários membros do Urban Sketchers, viver experiências em conjunto, partilhar desenhos e maneiras de desenhar. Sentimos que seria interessante ir documentando a viagem para além dos desenhos, que serão sempre o principal motivo, mas também com vídeos sobre formas de desenhar, entrevistas, etc.

Foi interessante falar com o Mário e sentir o seu lado calculista e moderado de quem ouvia e tentava perceber melhor os pontos fortes daquilo que quero fazer. No fim disse que “isto é realmente um grande projecto e que é preciso ter coragem. É algo em que ‘tudo’ pode acontecer e só se saberá com o decorrer da viajem.”

In 2012 I started a World Sketching Tour and since then, this has been my lifestyle. More intense, more for others, more open on how to look and judge. The tour made me get out of routines and safe places, which often leave me numb just seeing life go by slowly. Sketching has aroused my curiosity for “what will it be like on the other side of the mountain?”.
