A pleasure to be featured in this week’s blog post about urban sketching and reportage illustration.

I heard from British reportage illustrator Joe Munro, who wrote this:

“Reportage is one of the most challenging and formidable forms of illustration, yet rewards artists with such rich and raw content. I hope its unique grandeur can be further valued by your platform.”

Munro, who is based in Portsmouth, says he discovered reportage during his illustration degree at the University of the West of England. For the past 10 years, he has continued to draw on locations all around the world, including the streets of Havana, sweaty London salsa clubs, and the bustling local markets in Kas, Turkey.
