Sketches of Los Angeles, Set One
This summer I started a sketchbook devoted to urban sketches of Los Angeles (and surrounding areas). These sketches are the first set in the series and were drawn near Santa Monica and Saltair.
This series was inspired by the book, LA<>SF, A Sketchbook From California, by Christian Schellewald (image below).

Something Old: Drawings of Dorsington Manor
I’ve been busy with college applications so I thought I would post something old.
My Dad has always drawn and when we used to go on family holidays my Dad and I would sometimes draw together. The top drawing is my dad’s drawing of Dorsington Manor and the second drawing is my version. I think I drew this when I was 11 or 12 years old. Anyway, my dad and I sat on the lawn together with our rapidiographs and sketchbooks and drew the manor. I loved to draw with my Dad and always tried to copy his meticulous style (with varying results).
The photo on the bottom left is the manor and the photo on the bottom right is me as a kid painting.
Springtime
I thought I would change the scale a bit for this one, but it didn’t quite turn out as I had hoped.
