Some more beautiful red ones.


This years sunflowers look stunning.
And there are some more beautiful red ones.
They have grown as a result of last years plants.
"He who soweth good seeds shall surely reap."

In the zone. Transit of Planet Ball!
"You and me at the tennis court, the sky is blue above.
"I serve the ball from me to you, I guess the score is LOVE. (SS)

Graffiti Solar System.

Graffiti font = Zenith.
I created the image below by drawing the symbols or glyphs on paper then I scanned it and converted it into negative, finally adding labels.

These planetary symbols are all made up of similar features or elements. Circle, dot, semicircle, cross in different combinations. The circle represents eternity, without end and the spirit. The dot inside a circle represents the spirit or the power coming out. The cross is the material world and the semicircle is the soul.

These symbols of the planets are linked with early types of graphical communication, they remind me of the symbols used in aboriginal art.

Graffiti aperture or oculus.

Images of graffiti sprayed upon an urban backdrop of concrete, displayed in the stairwell of a road bridge, spanning shipping, were captured by my digital camera.
I have caught the light cascading through the convergence of the open ribcage and the next level of the stairwell.

India dreams skyscraper design.


-
India Temple. "A skyscraper design for the new millennium."

My designs are inspired by the Indian Tower which was intended to become India's first super-tall skyscraper.

My designs were created by marking out a box 16x16 cm. Dividing this into 4 squares.
I have used tonal shading to enhance the line drawings and the geometry of the architectural symbolism.
The architectural concept of the building included a stacked box type structure, each one rotated slightly. These were to include sky-garden levels, each tall enough to grow trees. This type of skewed box style is an emerging architectural form, however the construction of the building in Mumbai was cancelled and replaced by DB Towers.

Campsite phone box sketch.


Pencil sketch of a campsite phone box.

This sketch was completed over the course of 3 days, while we sat chatting to each other and the international visitors. The phone boxes are blue and they hang on sun bleached yellow walls, they became very popular in the evenings, usually the one on the right which still has a working internal light. I have tried to capture some of the animation around the scene and a sense of place. The sketch has become smudged through carriage.
