Sketching and drawing has been a passion of me since I was a small kid. I grew up with superheros in comic books and soon after high school I studied at the Academy of Arts in Maastricht to get a degree in teaching art. It was the the late eighties when I graduated, a time that computer graphics was emerging. I was immediately captivated by the medium. I was able to get work at a computer graphics studio right after graduation and have been doing computer based picture making ever since. Over the years I have become a relentless perfectionist so I was hesitant to pick up sketching again after thirty years, afraid I would not like the results. But in the summer of 2016 I decided to start sketching with pen and paper again. To make it a bit more disciplined for myself I wanted to make at least one sketch every day. So that’s what I did! I did not really have a specific subject matter in mind but slowly my love for architecture emerged as the theme for my work. When the pandemic struck, I had to stay indoors but with the help of some great Instagram photographers in Japan I have struck on my most passionate theme yet. Stores and older built structures in Japan, many of them in Tokyo. That moved things into high gear and I now have a successful course on Domestika about my sketching work. My latest book will be released in August 2024

Really like the art work. The book in an odd according long unfolding page format and is just pictures without any text. No explanation as to the paper used, marker brands or color or his method/technique. I look forward another book w this information

5.0 out of 5 stars Very cool picture book
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2022

I’m taking an online drawing class given by the author of this book. I wanted to study his work while I took the class. The drawings are beautiful. The book is folded like an accordion.
Two minor criticisms… It would have been nice if the pictures were on both sides of the accordion to take advantage of the blank spaces. And second, there is NO text whatsoever in the book. I would have liked to know the names of the pieces and/or what buildings in Japan the sketches are from.
This is purely a picture book. Just be warned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterful Casualness

I came across Albert Kiefer/Housesketcher on Instagram and was immediately taken by that almost casual looking, yet beautiful representations of Japanese buildings. I have been following his work on Insta for a while now and I love watching his demos/sketchbook shows.
I don't consider myself an artist... but I would like to be better and for that watching Housesketcher's images has been a constant inspiration.
I pounced on the book when I saw he released one.. It is in French, which I don't understand.. But the pictures are just amazing. The design of the book was very innovative as well. I love it! Well done, housesketcher!

I love this art style and the book did not disappoint. It is an accordion style, very clever. Not sure why the entire back was blank, perhaps intentionally, not sure, but the sketches present are amazing. Highly recommended!

I like the pictures but the book is kind of cheaply made and definitely not worth $60!

5.0 out of 5 stars des croquis exceptionnels de fraicheur et d'energie
Reviewed in France on April 21, 2023
Verified Purchase
Cet artiste propose de véritables petits bijoux de fraicheur qu'on ne se lasse pas de regarder.
Le livre est un peu petit, (14X22) on aurait peut être aimé voir ces dessins en plus grand. Ils doivent être proches de leur format d'origine puisque c'est du croquis de voyage, donc ça s'explique peut être pour ça.
Son format en accordéon, assez inhabituel, est sympa et permet de voir tous les dessins en même temps.

Die Bildersammlung gefällt mir bestens, und so auch die originelle Aufmachung dieses im Harmonium- Format aufklappbaren Buches.
Sehr schön und lebhaft finde ich an den Bildern das Karikaturhafte, das Organische und Lebhafte. Das macht die abgebildeten Gebäude viel schöner als sie in Wahrheit sind.

This is a great little book from Albert Kiefer, who is know for his house portraits. I started his video course recently and was interested to see he had a book of his drawings out. It's a collection of his illustrations of Japanese architecture, stunningly captured in pen and marker pen. It's a tad pricey for such a small book but well worth it in my opinion, the concertina format is novel and adds to the appeal.
