C.S. French Residence, East Orange, NJ
W. Halsey Wood, Architect
Drawn from a picture in American Country Houses of the Gilded Age by Arnold Lewis
Lewis writes:
"this was a most unusual and striking house, a distinctive manifestation of the design tendencies of the early 1880s. "
He also notes that some of the woodwork and trim gives the impression of interior trim that has mistakenly been placed on the outside. What is curious to me is the brick work. The bricks were lain rather haphazardly, some in arbitrary patterns, others in neat courses. It almost looks as though two masons were working right next to each other but paying absolutely no attention to what the other one was doing.
Lewis further writes that the house, which stood at Arlington and Park Avenues has been razed. It was built for French, a dealer in coal and wood.
It's one of my many favorites from the book. And apparently it had some contemporary fans as well, as there is a house in Cincinnati, Ohio that is clearly a copy of this plan and elevation. The designer (plagiarizer?) of the Cincinnati house however, toned down some of the starkness and razor-sharp edges of the original house and did the details in a more "traditional" Colonial Revival-esque mode.
It does not make quite as bold an artistic statement as Wood's original concept, but I'm very glad to see a derivative of his fantastic work still standing as an homage to the original.

I mostly used black gel pens/ ink pens and pencils (HB) on office/printer paper A4 sheets - cheap but effective :P
I won't be able to do origami for a while now, so I thought I'd post these drawings here...The shittier the drawing, the younger I was XD.
Hope you all like it.
ART 105B Beginning Drawing spends time sketching the African Mask display in the the Reese Bullen Gallery.
Pencil drawing of Native American dancer. The man's name is Clint. I don't know how to spell his last name, so I won't even try. I'm standing with the drawing to show the size - 40" x 60". I have decided to put a waterfall in the background. Who knows when I'll finish it.
More of his drawings. He was looking at a book of how to draw robots and I think he did pretty good.

In the box are hanging files, which house white free drawing paper, a picture file, how to draw books & instructions,as well as extra markers. This way I don't have a crowd around a drawing center. It had been really effective for me.

They are professionally printed on a4 size paper. (they look great!)
I'm so glad I chose a printing place that is close and not order online, so I could check it all out. Especially as the proofs I got where a lot greener and darker than my originals. Now I could just tweak my drawings and they came out perfect. This is also one of the reasons I don't put my work on online print services (like DA) as I wanna make sure that people get my artwork like it was intended to look.
I'll put any unsold (or might even print more if there is interest) for sale online next week. :)
I'll message here if I'm gonna print more, if there is any artwork you would like that isn't among the printed ones. I can pretty much make prints of any picture/sketch you would like as long as it is big enough.
I'm also planning on doing sketch commissions at the convention. Although I'm going back and forth on that, I'm crazy nervous...I've never done anything like that before! I'm also so very private and critical of my drawings. Think it might be really good for me though, getting out of my comfort zone and all that. Besides, even if I'm offering it I might end up with no customers anyways.
but OMGGGG big lump in chest just thinking about it T oT);
