This Lunchable can be consumed at your desk. Not that we are encouraging taking a lunch break at your desk. Lunchable is a regular feature of the UC Davis arts blog that tells readers about something they can see during lunch or a short break.

If you've spent time in the center of the Davis campus recently, chances are you've noticed the construction taking place between the library and the Student Community Center.  After years of planning, UC Davis is renovating historic Walker Hall into the long-awaited Graduate Center, which will accommodate a variety of services and organizations for UC Davis graduate student and postdoctoral scholars. 

Members of the campus community have been taking photos and videos of the project's progress, but one UC Davis staff member has documented the transformation by putting pen and paint to paper. 

Our Very Own Urban Sketcher

Pete Scully, an avid urban sketcher and UC Davis employee, is no stranger to drawing UC Davis scenes. Scully's blog and Instagram are filled with his sketches of both the campus' most well-known sights as well as numerous hidden gems. In 2016, the UC Davis Design Museum hosted a special exhibition called “Conversations with the City” featuring 30 of Pete’s sketchbooks from 2006-2016. Scully sketches on location almost daily, often spending his lunch break with a hardbound book and a pencil.
