It came out of the blue, but an NBC news team visited a couple of weeks ago to interview and film me as part of a story they were working on about Urban Sketchers. The focus of the story was on the group working at Syracuse, New York, but they were also interested in reflecting the international angle, and somehow alighted on me, as one of those who helped set up the London group in 2012. After interviewing me in front of a couple of my prints at home, we went up the road to the park so they could film me drawing (above).
You can see the full report on NBC Nightly News (broadcast on 20 January 2018), complete with me whooshing by midway through. Don't blink.
