I have done many forms of fine art over the years, including mixed media, illustration and painting.
It’s always a special time when I get to visit Bristol, England again. Last time I was there, I took the opportunity to get a shot of the top of The Christmas Steps so I could do this illustration later on. It’s a really special place, and worth the trip for the nostalgia alone, for me anyway.
I worked with some new-to-me material and methods for this diptych to illustrate how the tapestry of a human life builds with differing methods, over changing seasons.
While working with a startup, we did a team trip to Phuket, Thailand and stayed in this fantastic AirBnB. This architectural illustration was done over several days from a photograph I took at the back of the house.
The house of someone I know. I loved the simple beauty of the symmetry of this place, and it truly is a stunning multi-level building inside.
A quick-ish sketch of an Indian food joint in Bristol, England. I dedicated this to my mom, who loves strong flavors.
This was the illustration that got me back into architectural drawing. During a visit to Bristol, England, I snagged a sketchbook, pen and shading brush because I just really felt like drawing. As you can see, I dedicated this one to my dad who encouraged my illustrations as a kid.
