The Vancouver Sketchbook: Lush Landscapes, Vibrant Streetscapes, Soaring Skyline - Hardcover

by T. K. Justin Ng (Author)

From the snow-capped mountains to Stanley Park, Gastown to Chinatown, False Creek to UBC, come discover the rich history, culture, and stunning beauty of Vancouver. Part travelogue, part guidebook and celebration, Ng's vibrant, colourful sketches and lively text are the perfect companion to appreciating Vancouver's spatial richness and cultural diversity.

"Rather than creating an art book, " says author T.K. Justin Ng, "I am much more interested in making a book that explores Vancouver's pictorial identity through a selective webbing of personal observations and history. Straddling between a guide and a journal, this book is for tourists and Vancouverites alike."
