You already know


I just like that song.

Anyway.. just a short post with some links to some things I've been reading recently.
Firstly, the online version of The Architects Journal (http://www.architectsjournal.co.uk/) Probably a pretty standard read if you're interested in architecture - they have a good page on sustainability as well, which is something that I'm particularly interested in.
Also ABC+D have an online magazine (http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/1e2ee86c#/1e2ee86c/1), and you can find more at www.buildingtalk.com, but thats more about products and technology than design.

Slightly more architectural, I think.

So, long time no blog. I know. But what with January exams, UCAS and general stress I've had little time to get on with posting. Maybe in future I can use this as break, rather watching endless series of tv on the internet..
Anyway, here are some bits I've done over the past month. Hope you like them (:


This was a landscape I recently did, around where I live the landscape is pretty boring (no soaring hills, deep valleys or waterfalls, sadly) but it can still be quite beautiful - and there's always a lot of the sky to see. Which I guess might be why I like looking at the sky so much.


So you'll probably recognise this building (though it's not a brilliant drawing). The Flatiron Building in New York, designed by the architect Daniel Burnham (a favourite of mine).


Above is just a sketch of a ceiling of an archway in Cambridge (you might recognise it from here ). 


Again a recognisable place: Newcastle. I've never done many cityscapes before (at all), so let me know what you think (:


Lastly a piece under the title 'My Street' and as my street is quite average I tried to make it more interesting with perspective. Not sure if it worked, still looks pretty boring to me but hey.

I'm going to try and get into blogging more regularly again - I know I've said that before, but at least I'm consistent, right? Feel free to comment if you feel the urge.
