• The Art of Urban Sketching, Drawing On Location Around The World
• Gabriel Campanario

• This book is full of sketches of buildings and cityscapes, and was influential in the design of my novel Bright Lights, Dark Nights.

• Dark City, The Lost World of Film Noir
• Eddie Muller

• Really cool book with lots of full page sharp stills from noir films. I was very inspired by the downbeat storytelling and cool aesthetics of noir. Mixed with the urban settings of a lot of noir and the light and dark interplay gave me a lot to work with.
