Hi everybody my names Ric. Here is a little explanation about what this is all about.

It’s about the SketchCity events going on in Drybar and around Manchester. If you've never been to one then your missing out. They are usually on the first Sunday of every month so come down if you can.

If your wondering what goes on at SketchCity well most aspects of hip hop culture goes down primarily graffiti and graphic art but whole heartedly embracing the DJ's MC's and Beatboxers that provide the groove to the night. Also they're projectors with great animations and videos. At SketchCity stimulation is never hard to find. Oh and before I forget for all the drinkers out there, there’s a bar too.

Personally I’m a photographer I do draw but I know what I’m good at. So when I go down I like to take photos. It gets me walking around chatting to people and I get a look at what everyones doing. Then I try and capture the energy, buzz and sometime shear concentration that’s going on. So all the images up here are gonna be about the people doing the images and the images themselve so if you like the photos comment on that and if you like the art in the photo comment to the artist. You never know they may just check this and get your message so lets take this thing Global.

I'm not going to be the only person deviating on this site and as time goes by and other photographer want to join in the fun there welcome. But only after they have passed some severe draconian initiation rituals.

If you wanna check my work out for some Mancunian street photography [link] and other stuff [link] you know it makes sense.

And if you wanna check my latest partner in crime lispensie [link] shes got some older sketch city pics and other interesting things so have a gander!

Oh and before I forget check out the official site and hop off on all the links [link]

Anyways..........keep checking the page, discus the art, live long and love strong....
