“The first, exquisitely detailed Budapest map of Urban Sidewalker came out in 2014, presenting a bird’s eye view of the city and its many major landmarks. The artist, Balázs Egri, only used to draw as a hobby, but after a few glasses and nostalgic chatter one night with his psychologist friend, Máté Révay, the two decided to launch Urban Sidewalker.
It took Balázs about 120 hours to finish that first drawing in 2014, free hand with a fineliner. He still sticks to this method and only uses digital technique to add colour after scanning, even though this means that each poster requires three months to finish, postcards three to five days. Balázs jokingly admits that he cannot draw from memory, but uses photographs and then adds his magic. Either way, he always manages to capture the spirit and essence of his subject city.”
