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.

A pen & ink drawing done for the El Paso County Parks & Recreation Department. It appears on an interpretive sign along the New Santa Fe Trail, which runs from Palmer Lake, through the Air Force Academy, and into Colorado Springs.
Here is my info graphic poster on Asian Carp. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. I went for a kind of bright in your face color palette to kind of match some of the asian info graphic styles I found on the internet. I want to keep my fish the focal point and keep him all white because he was so detailed and kind of use all the other supporting elements to lead your eye to drawing. Iniitially I had a really different tail to my fish but it was really awkward and didn't flow very well, so i scrapped the back half of the fish and started from scratch and i think it turned out really well.

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.

This is what I did when I was at my grandads today watching the ladies final at Wimbledon, the match didn't really keep my attention today.
I say 'did', I mean I drew the picture, not that I took loads of drugs.
I have gotten a bit rubbish at drawing since I left Art School, I'm trying to draw a lot more just now, so hopefully there will be an improvement over the next few uploads. Also sorry for the big crease down the middle, thats the spine of my moleskine, I couldn't quite photoshop that part out (couldn't be bothered).
The goal is to design a round tin box. The theme was COLOR. My idea is to focus on small, everyday moments, that make life colorfull.
Ok, I'll admit I really like drawing dudes, it seems like you don't always have to make them perfect or drop dead gorgeous (I usually draw my ladies really pretty XD) this boy Is kinda based off of the guy I like, but I made him look different enough so he wouldn't notice if I posted on FB XD
An old draw with blue ballpen and Mouse Power in PS :)
(My style has changed a little...yea?)
I think it's smart to save every layers, so that you can, and you'd better see this ^^
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.
