Mapkins

Maps are at the forefront of my mind at the moment, but maps don’t necessary have to be cartographically correct, sometimes a useful map is actually drawn from the mind.

Goods Entrance

Welcome to Loddon House

Sketch of Loddon House, one of the two buildings near me which are in the process of being demolished, one of three which is currently abandoned. I find the harsh lines opposed with the random shapes of the broken windows to give the facade character.

I don’t like change, I love the architectural history of these buildings, which I’m sure at the time were thought of as very stylish, but now considered to be crass. But in fact I am enjoying the process of the demolition, seeing a building being cut up and exposing the structure, I just wish it could stay as a piece of artwork, a building half torn down and falling apart.

Rome re-visited

Been re-visiting my photos and sketches from the month long Rome trip in July 2009 recently.

Found this unusual picture.
