Whilst rummaging through some boxes I came across drawings from my yonder-years (created between 1992-97). Most images were made by hand, using a combination of various manual techniques such as pastels, colour-pencils, charcoal and paint.. The themes included are varied and somewhat non-specific, however, 'Frau Peppercorn' is a, never realized, design which I do remember fondly. The last set of images included below were made by computer during my architectural studies at the AA, using predominantly Photoshop, but even these still retain a manual feel in their execution.
Perforated wall detail...
Stretch-face...
Above and Below - A (strangely enough) never realized design, called 'Frau Peppercorn', for a pepper-mill in the shape of a skirted lady, whose head had to be turned (nodded, shaken...) to disperse pepper onto the condiment needing meal placed below her skirt...
The front elevation of Frau Peppercorn...
A view of the skirting detail and a sectional view of the milling head...
The base of the milling head...
Big City Godzilla Versus Mickey Mouse - A commentary on the somewhat adversary relationship between new-built small towns such as Celebration, Florida (owned and run by the Disney Corporation) and any of the more populated metropolises...
Walt the Wedge - the, even after his death, influence (cult of personality) that Walt Disney retained in the creation of smallville USA...
