Making the everyday magical

Hi! I’m Astrid, also known as Urban Anna, a self-taught artist passionate about turning everyday architecture into magical, whimsical art. Since 2020, I’ve been illustrating shopfronts, pubs, and other charming buildings with watercolor and pen, drawing inspiration from the beauty of the world around us.

Books

I’m the proud author of four coloring books, Urban Coloring 1, Urban Coloring 2, From Paris with Love, and London Baby! as well as an art instruction book Urban Drawing. I share my love for architecture and creativity with a global community. With book rights sold in countries like the US, Germany, France, Korea and Japan, my work has traveled far and wide.
