thought i had posted these...

...but i guess not.  from a couple of months ago...

building

Some more ink wash studies of construction equipment..

Totems and such

I've been fascinated by all the high-rises going up around town.  This is some pile driving equipment on 8th and Brannon:

Actually, it's a little manipulated from the actual site - I've moved some elements around.  I like the image as an idea but not terribly pleased with how it came out.  Plus I screwed up on the sky..:(

More skeletons

...of pending high-rises, that is..

more construction

This one really kicked my butt.  I'm fascinated by all the skeletal underpinnings of the new building, but it required a level of detail I found hard to get.  Looking at it now, I guess it still turned out ok after all.  All I can say is, thank goodness for gouache!

The bottom is a little curved only because the page in the sketchbook is...I have been too lazy to scan my sketches and have been just taking photos with my phone.
