Entrepreneur, researcher and architect Nathan Kabinga is documenting African cities with freehand sketches. He is creating a series of books called Sketch n Cities that is segmented into volumes. Each volume illustrates an African city.
This first volume illustrates Pretoria, one of the capital cities of South Africa. Nathan unveils Pretoria’s suburbs, townships, CBD, institutional buildings, incidental architecture, and quirks.
Sketch n Cities would appeal to architects and people who appreciate hand-sketched art and is also a wonderful product for those who love illustrated short stories about cities. In addition, a volume about a particular city makes an evocative souvenir for tourists visiting the documented city.
This book collects together about sixty drawings of fishing boats
at Arbroath Harbour, completed between 1989 to 1995. There are also
fifteen drawings of the harbour at Montrose, and of other Scottish
harbours relevant to Arbroath, in the same period. The author's
viewpoint is that of an interested spectator who likes fishing
boats. While drawing, he gained valuable background information
from the local people, including some fishermen, that he met as he
worked. His notes on the harbours he draws, and on the boats and
people within them, are written in the hope that everyone reading
the book will 'feel close to the sea'. The main story unfolds
gradually, starting in 1989 and running through to 1995. It begins
with a bird's eye view of Arbroath Harbour, 'so that even if you
have never been to Arbroath, you will soon know your way around'.
At the end of the book there is a map that show the positions of
all the Scottish harbour towns mentioned in the text. 'I have
written not just for Arbroath people, or just for Scottish people,
or even just for British people. I have written the book for people
everywhere. The call of the sea is universal.'

This is an accessibly written, illustrated biography of Venetian
painter Rosalba Carriera (1673-1757), one of the most famous women
artists in 18th-century Europe. It presents an overview of her life
and work, considering Carriera's miniatures alongside her
better-known, larger-scale works. Focusing on interpretation of her
paintings in the historical context of her life as a single woman
in Venice, the book offers an easy guide through Carrieras life,
the people she met, her clients and her artistic approach. The
author's new iconographic analysis of some of Carriera's works
reveals that she was an erudite painter, drawing on antiquity as
well as the work of Renaissance virtuosos such as Leonardo da Vinci
and Paolo Veronese.
