My father had wanted an Architect. Growing up I found myself pursuing a dream not of my own. I took 2 years of Architecture when my Professor offered me a job as a Technical Illustrator/ Retoucher and concept artist. I do owe my design skills to my Architectural instructor...
Mid to early 1980s Harrah's. My first school project in Architectural rendering where I had to use an Airbrush.
Architect, Arthur Erickson. I have created more sophisticated Pen and Ink illustrations but this holds a lot of personal attachment to it. It was my 1st Pen and Ink Architectural rendering using technical pens... I was only 18 when I did this..
I designed this backyard per the clients needs. The design includes the sprinkler system, the drainage, the electrical, the water, the gas and a putting green. The property had HOA regulations so I had to work with those parameters.
I have been commissioned to Illustrated Commercial buildings, Mansions, and Residents. I also have done mechanical, technical, and detailed plan views of Residence. I have done Bldg. dpt. approved extensions (residential). I have finished all the educational requirements to build a 3 story structure...
This was a building (Hotel) design project I had to do. Half of the structure was a mirror image of the other side, So, we literally used a large mirror. The small shopping area to the right was another teams project. Our hotels top could be pulled out to reveal the penthouse floor. Model
Here I was stuck with a lobby that was barely 15' x 15' I had a theme to work with too. The client had already ordered a Cherry Cabinet to hold there awards. This was a quick marker study. I came up with 3 other versions, they leaned towards this.
OK this was an Architectural concept that had structural impossibilities. It still needs work. I liked it enough to post it... lol.. :P
