Reykjavík Sketcher

Sharing the world around me, one sketch at a time

As an Architect who is passionate about hand drawing, it’s quite natural for me to sketch and record my travels and surroundings. The idea of the ‘Reykjavík Sketcher’ came about as I wandered around downtown Reykjavík sketching the houses one evening whilst I waited for Ingimar to finish work. Later, I posted my drawings on Instagram, and people started to comment and interact, sometimes letting me know who lived in a house I’d drawn. Over time, my feed became an online sketchbook - a digital exhibition.
