Staff sketch artist Pete Scully featured in 鈥楩ace to Face鈥

The featured guest on Chancellor Gary S. May鈥檚 talk show can often be spotted around campus, having 鈥渃onversations鈥 with the scenery.

Pete Scully, manager of the Department of Statistics, may be better known for what he does over his lunch breaks and time off: sketches, especially of buildings and landscapes on campus and around Davis.

He joined Face to Face With Chancellor May to discuss his process for creating art, why he sketches, what he does with his full sketchbooks and more.

Scully said he started drawing as soon as he was old enough to hold a pen, but really picked up the habit when he moved from his native London to Davis.

鈥淚'm 5,000 miles away from home, and in a way, drawing was a way to kind of observe my new city, but also to show people back home,鈥 he told the chancellor. 鈥淗ere in Davis, I mean, it's perfect sketching weather.

He鈥檚 hosted regular gatherings of fellow sketchers and filled numerous sketchbooks with detailed recreations of everything from fire hydrants to new buildings on campus, and in 2016 the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis Design Museum held an exhibition of his work called 鈥淐onversations with the City.鈥

鈥淚t doesn't really matter whether it's good or bad,鈥 he said. 鈥淭he whole point of it is to observe what you're seeing, and that way you have a relationship with what you're seeing. And that's why I call it a conversation with the city.鈥
