To be candid, since graduation, I've only picked up a pen to sketch intermittently and postings non-existent. While I haven't been slacking in pursuing other creative endeavours (some to be followed with future posts), I sorely missed observing and understanding places on a whim. It is this act that keeps a designer humble and curious, wise yet flexible. Enough said, it's time to bring things a little more up to date:
Sketching from the balcony of Chan Centre during performance by UBC Orchestra.
A visit to Binning House, example of early modern architecture movement in Canada.
A section-plan sketch of West Vancouver's streetscape.
A sketch in the Linked Hybrid in Beijing, China, 2010.
Hey Mary,
ReplyDeleteNice to see you back in the land of the bloggers! I always enjoys seeing your fresh sketching style and interesting commentary.
I remember when we met a couple of years ago at Nat Bailey Stadium for an office baseball outing. You sketched on a hot dog napkin (or something like that) from the stands. I loved your spontaneous style and the fabulous perspective. Your Chan Centre sketch reminds me of that day. No excuses for you. Just draw. I like that.
ReplyDeleteMy thanks, that encouragement goes for us both. Draw on!
