Drax power station. The only coal powered station still under power, but burning wood pellets imported from the US. Once the most powerful power station in the UK, producing 6% of the UK power. Many questions over its sustainable credentials...but it does make or a good photo.
So come on Love, draw your swords,
Shoot me to the ground.
You are mine, I am yours,
Lets not fuck around.
Cause you are, the only one.
Cause you are, the only one.
Naturally b&w. I shot it from the car, on the final stretch home.
The zoom makes the vignetting (a bit too much I think).
Pat Dougherty is one of those guys who makes mere mortals wonder why they're so lame. At least that's the effect he has on your author. Pat's happily married and has raised three kids, he can sing and act, his "Blues Patrol" Blues Brothers stage show has packed New England venues for 20 years, he's an ASA Certified master automotive technician, but most of all, Pat can draw cars.
No computers are involved, and he isn't the type to obtain realism via retouched digital photos. The only digital aspect of his drawings are his 10 fingers. Everything on the paper comes directly from his inquisitive and detail-oriented mind. Ever since elementary school art class, Pat's had an innate ability to create highly realistic renderings without much training beyond the usual public-school curriculum. But it was during architectural graphics class at Stamford High School (the same Connecticut public school that hatched star-crossed Hogan's Heroes star Bob Crane a generation earlier) where Pat says, "My teacher, Mr. Burkhardt, was very supportive and fed my interest with helpful commentary. It took off from there."
In particular, Pat's grasp of the technical sideline of drawing, as described with terms like "fineness of line," "perspective," "realism," "shading," and "proportion" is highly calibrated. Beyond that, his attention to realistic details like factory part numbers, correct surface textures, and—to this writer's opinion—getting the correct rocker panel "tuck under" or "fuselage effect" are what separate Pat's work from that of other automotive cartoonists. Check for yourself: too many automotive illustrators and cartoonists fail to properly capture the tube-like surface development of most automobile bodies. They're rendered with vertical slab sides that simply aren't correct. Dougherty's stuff differs.
After high school, Pat went to work at an architect's office. There, he "discovered the empty feeling of doing work that others took credit for." Following his passion for cars, he left the architect after a year and went to work at Fairbanks Racing Transmissions, a leading East Coast retailer of high-performance automatic transmissions and components. At Fairbanks, Pat did a lot of everything, from assembly to marketing to answering tech questions by phone. Yes, Pat even applied Fairbanks' trademark black tiger stripesoverCaterpillar Tractor Yellow graphics to completed transmissions and torque converters prior to shipment: "We used a template to mask off the stripes." No, Pat's transmissions weren't "signed by the artist," but he took extra care to make sure the paintwork was applied with care. Maybe there's one in your garage or under the floorboards of your hot rod.
After leaving Fairbanks, Pat spent the next 30 years working for AAMCO transmission shops in Connecticut. But through it all, Pat remained active at his hobby of drawing automotive subjects while also finding time to raise a happy family of three. Today, Pat is transitioning into the world of self-employment with a business centered around his hand-drawn renderings of cars and trucks. During the car-show season, he can be found at more than 30 outdoor events, including the Syracuse Nationals in New York, Carlisle Chrysler Nationals in Pennsylvania, and others where he's given spotlight space to do his thing before the passing crowd. We visited Pat's Stamford, Connecticut, home and studio for a look at his work. If you dig what you see, Pat sells reprints and is also ready to render your vehicle in his unique cartoon-realist style.

A rare stray to South Eastern Arizona. Being viewed at Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area. Giving many a captivating opportunity.
paper, pencil. 2006
To be honest, I rarely pick up a pencil.
In general, I rarely take something in my hands - my hands are usually busy ) This is my drawing of the Amur tiger for the children's edition of National Geographic in 2006 after my trip to the Far East. When I don't have a suitable photograph, drawings from a travel diary come into play.
As a child, I thought that a man should cook well, understand whiskey and wines, be able to fight and shoot decently, ride a horse, master fine art skills and be liked by women )
Oh, and dress impeccably for this ! ))
Much of this list turned out to be useful, but my lifestyle challenged the style of clothing ) but the ability to draw somehow took root
"When shall we three meet again,
in Thunder, Lightning, or in Rain?
When the Hurley-burley's done,
when the Battle's lost and won,
that will be e'er set of Sun,
where the place?
Upon the heath,
there we go to meet Macbeth.
There we'll perform our magic rites,
and raise such artificial Sprights
as by the strength of their illusion
shall draw him on to his confusion
we'll double, double, toil and trouble,
and make our hell broth boil and bubble!"
Macbeth
I was tempted to draw in pit hair, because every time I read Red Sonja comics, I think, "like this badass would give two shits about waxing."

Inner monologue:
Basil Poledouris, of course, what else do barbarians listen to?
A story draws on relationships in the exterior landscape and projects them onto the interior landscape. The purpose of storytelling is to achieve harmony between the two landscapes, to use all the elements of story...in a harmonious way to reproduce the harmony of the land in the individual's interior. Inherent in story is the power to reorder a state of psychological confusion through contact with the pervasive truth of those relationships we call "the land".

from the time I used to draw a little bit more than now. I used to draw from photos or moving pictures from tv.

Eastern Sierra, California
On my hike to Parker Lake, I noticed these conifers and aspens nestling in a draw between two slopes. It’s always about the moisture.
