A collection of works submitted for exhibition.
A pencil sketch. Crescent moon, pylon, bridge and St Mary's church. There's a lot going on in this one. Ceri says it looks like a cell.
This geometric drawing is based upon the architectural features of a building. India Tower (previously known as Park Hyatt Tower) is a supertall skyscraper under construction in Mumbai, Maharashtra and will be one of the tallest and greenest buildings in India once completed.
Two images culled from my Farnham Art College Sketchbook 1993.
The first image is titled, 'Shop & Bin' and is based upon an urban facade with street furniture. Collage. The second collage is titled, 'The Swimming Pool Library.' Inspired by a novel by Alan Hollinghurst. Collage. I did a lot of swimming at the time.
A pencil sketch of the spire. A preliminary study for another work. Finished? The architects name eludes me.
A geometric study of the WTC Twin Towers and surrounding architectural features. Namely the 'trident'.

Drawing inspired by the work of Charles Mikolaycak.
This drawing is inspired by the work of Charles Mikolaycak.
This one took 8 hours to complete.
I recreated this image in pencil and ink from the the cover illustration of a book entitled, "In the morning of time."
"It is a novelized re-telling of Norse mythology, as it is related to the two Icelandic Eddas.
The loss of the world's innocence, exemplified by the death of a god, Balder is the theme, although other Norse deities are skilfully introduced in the development of this theme."
* Library Journal.
The book - In the morning of time: The story of the Norse God Balder, was written by Cynthia King. Published by Scholastic Book Services in 1970. It includes several illustrations by Charles Mikolaycak.
I like the symbolism within the image I have chosen to recreate.
Although I don't fully understand the narrative yet as I have not read the novel.
Note the beard is shaped like a ship buoyant upon the ocean, or is it the mouth of a whale?
A tree or sail-scape is juxtaposed, what with the helmet of the bearded one amongst the shadowy clouds.
I have added light and reflection from a celestial body, but which one?
Very Mount Rushmoresque. Four faces, noses, eyes.

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.
Check out these links to view some more of my work in pencil.

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.
Kerching, pring, pring, dong.

Rubbings of stone carvings in pencil.
Here is a collection of rubbings. Rubbings of stone carvings in pencil. I collected the images this morning, some of them came from St. John's. In this instance I have used a soft pencil (4B) .The images are created by placing paper over the symbol, motif or detail of choice and rubbing. I tended to rub back and forth in the same direction. Wax or chalk is just as effective. Then they were scanned, re sized and enhanced.
It's a continuation of the symbols, motifs and detail theme, below are designs including, oak leaf, circle and cross and a rolling scroll.

Gothic Symbol Matrix.
Gothic Symbol Matrix 2008.
Pencil and ink.
Completed in just under 6 hours.
First I drew the grid and then the letters G-O-T-H-I-C from the Gothic Alphabet.
I drew the letters in pencil then went over them with ink when I was happy with their shape.
The other squares in the grid are populated with adaptations of symbols found in an old encyclopedia.
