Cafe Nat

This was a drawing I did last year for my degree in Architecture. I added it into a couple of internal views of my design and I think it turned out pretty good. I do quite a lot of my sketching and art work in pen now, as I found it worked best for architectural drawings, it scans better, and creates some great contrast. The drawing is a friend of mine called nat =).(click on it to make it bigger, much better looking)

I'm Getting Ready

A beautiful song, I noticed Michael Kiwanuka (that last name still takes a bit of remembering) a while back. His voice is just smooth and soulful and I'm really enjoying this new song of his. Unluckily he's not passing through Nottingham anytime soon but he is touring, so check him out and go see him if you can. 

Nottingham Council House (the top)

I was sat in Market Square in Nottingham yesterday waiting for mid-day to come, so I thought I would do a bit more sketching. I drew the dome of the council house, and also realised that a british flag was flying beside it. I hadn't realised this before and it was quite a surprise as I rarely see flags flying in England apart from when the world cup comes rolling by. But there it was the Union Jack flying over Market Square.

Helicopter Seeds

Some more sketches from my canal trip yesterday. I definitely enjoy doing a bit of outdoor drawing, some quick pieces here and there. I hope I keep working into my sketch book, it keeps the ideas flowing for pieces and keeps the skills developing, from day to day. Feel free to comment. 

Music to my Ears

Here's 'Young the Giant' for you, singing their song 'I Got'. I think they're a pretty great band, who have now made it pretty big in the US. I particularly like their more acoustic versions of songs and this one is up there with the best. You should check out their album and also this Youtube channel, 'WatchListenTell' is the best channel out there. Enjoy =)

Enjoying the Evening rays

A quick sketch I did while relaxing by the canal, a man sat on his deck chair 

Seems like an interesting idea

Well I thought I might try out blogging, and to begin here is some superb music, listen and enjoy
The sun is shining and I should be out enjoying it, so to the great outdoors I go =)
