Not so new subject matter

When I draw or paint I keep being pulled back to architectural subject matter. I especially enjoy exploring detail and decoration. It struck me that shops would make an ideal subject.

Out I went into the cold, cold snow (well actually sleet and wind) with my camera. It seemed like cheating but this weather is not fit for drawing outside.

When I started to play I found myself using holiday photos to piece together a fictional building instead. It must be a subconscious yearning for the warmth.

I'm hoping to print some drawings on a risograph machine.  I'm trying out black crayon hoping to get a lithographic feel to the marks.
