Here's a little commission I did for someone last year for a card deck they're designing. The request was simply for an illustration of a castle. So, I sketched eight possibilities, and then chose one. Each of these is a very small drawing, which I did on purpose to make sure that the image would be legible, but still interesting, after converted to the card. Which of the original eight do you like most?

((I'm building Cecil's house/workshop! Character art is nice and all, but isometric buildings are what I have the most fun with. Now all I gotta do is color it in and put some background in there.

This was made in Adobe Illustrator and is thus a vector art piece. Here's the wireframe:

This took me about 3 weeks and I'm super proud of it so far!))

FDR the Art Collector

This undated sketchbook contains watercolors and pencil drawings by Alexander Jackson Davis (1803-1892), one of the most prominent American architects of the nineteenth century.

Davis began his career in New York illustrating various buildings in the northeastern United States. In 1829, he started his first architectural firm, Town & Davis, with partner Ithiel Town, and then later opened his own firm. As one of the most prolific American architects of the nineteenth century, Davis designed buildings all over the US, including government buildings, commercial buildings, churches, and private homes. He favored Gothic Revival, Greek Revival, and Italianate styles. He also designed interior elements and even furniture.

Franklin D. Roosevelt purchased the sketchbook in February 1942—two months after Pearl Harbor and amid some of the darkest weeks of World War II.

This acquisition illustrates two important things about Franklin Roosevelt. He had an extraordinary ability to compartmentalize his life—using hobbies and personal interests to help himself manage the many stresses of the presidency. And he had an abiding love of and interest in the history, landscape, and culture of the Hudson River Valley.

Shortly after purchasing the Davis sketchbook, FDR shipped it to his distant cousin, Margaret “Daisy” Suckley, an archivist at the Roosevelt Library, to be added to his collection of Hudson River Valley art and artifacts. “I bought this several days ago,” he wrote Suckley, “and it should go to the Dutchess County collection as a loan. Some of the watercolors are really lovely.”

It's spring, with summer approaching, so I'm hitting up my local ice cream shops. I'm going to be sketching them. Partly because I don't do enough building sketches. 

 Anyway, first sketch in this series. Only partly satisfied cause...drawing confidence is very low these days.

It’s rough, but I need to get used to doing imperfect speed-drawings that don’t involve me stressing over every single detail.

Ditlev Martens (July 26, 1795 - 1864) was a German-born Danish painter who studied at the Academy in Copenhagen under Eckersberg and received a Royal Stipend from the Danish King. He spent time in Rome with Thorvaldsen and later settled in Hamburg. When his studio there burned down he relocated to Copenhagen.

Martens was chiefly an architecture painter and the accuracy of his works has helped reconstructing and restoring several historical buildings in Denmark.

The Grim Towers Of Lovecraftian World: Minimalist Architectural Art By James Lipnickas

James Lipnickas is an artist from New Haven, Connecticut. And his coolest series of works are these sci-fi futuristic towers of horror. Here, Lovecraftian tentacles are juxtaposed with meditating characters, and engineers experiment on themselves, space, and the technobots. Each of these towers is like a separate closed world (which does not prevent them from being part of the general universe).

My most recent "finished" drawing, plus four sketches from this month. I think it's interesting to see classical elements appear in unlikely places. Simply by their situating they can appear odd; or, sometimes, their characteristics have also been distorted. For the finished piece, I heightened the scale and tenor of those appearances for a "mannerist", barn-like edifice, rippling with rustication, apertures, and other incisions recalling various classical devices. With pieces like these, I'm emphasizing the formal aspect of play in the purely visual coding of architecture -- a kind of play often under-emphasized or excluded in the literature on 20th- and 21st-century "rational" architecture, or in the architecture itself.
