Columbia
While visiting Columbia, California earlier this year I really wanted to sit down and sketch some of the old buildings and other artefacts. That never worked out and so I had to settle for photographs instead. I decided to make sketches based on some of those photos. I tried adopting a more loose and sketchy style. In the past, for ink sketches, I tend to work out a lot of the sketch in pencil…

Abandoned truck #2
I revisited the abandoned Chevy truck from earlier but with a slightly modified composition. This was completed in a new Stillman and Birn Zeta series sketchbook, in the square 7″ x 7″ format.

It had been a while since I last had an opportunity go on a trip like that, so I was looking…

Goryo-jinja shrine, Hase
The Enoshima Electric Railway or the Enoden as it more commonly referred to is a small railway line in Kanagawa prefecture that runs between Fujisawa and Kamakura, the latter being the location of a giant Amida Buddha statue. This sketch is from the entrance to the Goryo-jinja shrine, in Hase, just two or three stops before Kamakura. Here there is a railroad crossing just before the entrance. I…
