Logo/Stamp Contest

Hi Sketchers

The Albuquerque Chapter of Urban Sketchers is looking for a design to be used on an “Albuquerque Urban Sketchers” stamp. The stamp will be used for visiting Sketchers or for any of us who want a stamp on a special sketch.

Your design may be of any reasonable size 8″x 10″ or smaller, the winning design will be reduced to 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ slightly longer for a horizontal design. It can be in a rectangle, square, or circular shape. Please remember this is for a stamp. The design should be devoid of color, black only, and of simple line drawing as it will be very small and we want it to print clearly. We will not be using the Urban Sketchers International logo on this stamp but it should say “Abq. Urban Sketchers” somewhere in the design.

Submissions deadline is October 31, 2019. There is no monetary prize for the winning design, however the winning designer will able to say with pride, “I did that”. The winning design must come with all rights to use by the Albuquerque Urban Sketchers, and in high resolution.

Entries to be voted on by the Albuquerque Urban Sketchers administrators. Please send your submission to spaderart@gmail.com by October 31st.

Good luck.

Cathedral Park, Santa Fe 7/6/2019

Our next outing will be to Cathedral Park in Santa Fe, on Saturday July 6th.  This time we will meet at 10:30 AM and sketch till about 12:30. Some sketchers would like to ride the train and that will give everyone time to get over to the Cathedral by 10:30.  There is a free shuttle that leaves from the train station and goes around to the Cathedral at 131 Cathedral Pl. The train leaves from the Montano Station at 8:39AM and arrives at the Santa Fe Depot at 10:05AM. Here’s a link to the train schedule: https://www.riometro.org/187/Saturday.  And you can always drive/carpool if you like.

I will be out of town for the weekend and Donna Williams will be hosting this time.  You can still notify me if you’ll be attending and I will forward the list to Donna.  Have fun!
