Well...I guess it is my turn to formally introduce myself. My name is Tim Oliver and I am one of the seven current contributing correspondents for Urban Sketchers-Texas. I am a native Texan, born and currently living on the plains of West Texas in Lubbock. I am a graduate of Texas Tech University, a licensed landscape architect and own a design/build practice here in Lubbock. I have an exceptionally beautiful and patient wife as well as three wonderfully above average children! My wife is the love of my life as well as my biggest fan and supporter. My oldest son currently serves in the US Navy, my daughter is employed in an architecture firm in Houston and my youngest boy is a senior in High School, headed to Tech next fall. I've always loved to draw and sketch but really discovered my passion a few years ago when I attended a "Sketching on Location" workshop by landscape architect and illustrator Richard Scott in Pasadena, California. It was there that I became familiar with the incredible worldwide group of location sketchers known as Urban Sketchers. I am extremely pleased to be a part of USK-Texas and hope to faithfully fufill the manifesto of Urban Sketchers by showing you Lubbock and West Texas "one sketch at a time!"
Now THAT's a Texas sketcher! Thanks for all your help with USK/Texas, Tim...you're a great asset to the creative community in our State!
