Hi, I’m Mark. I’ve been sketching since I could hold a pen — on scraps of paper, napkins, coffee cups, whatever was in front of me. I’m an urban designer based in Bristol, and I’ve always been drawn to cities: the messiness, the movement, the way creativity finds its way through the cracks.

Cities aren’t about being polished or perfect. The places I’m drawn to — and the ones I draw — have texture. They’re honest. Sometimes a bit rough around the edges. That’s where the character is.

These sketches are my way of capturing that feeling.
