Three of my pieces are now available for order as 8" x 10" prints! Each is a cross-section of an imaginary architectural space inspired, in part, by the exploratory format for the later 2D Castlevania titles, such as Symphony of the Night. Each was done using colored pencil, pen, watercolor, and marker on paper. All originally are small-scale, too, perhaps no larger than 6″ x 4″.

Prototype
Alison and Peter Smithson : The House Of The Future
There is already someone who envisioned how the future home looked like throughout the middle Fifties, a prototype was designed by well-known modernist architects Alison and Peter Smithson. Although it was never intended for actual production but for theoretical discussion.
The House of the Future was presented on Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition, held in the Olympia Exhibition Centre from March 6-31 1956. The drawings above shows how has been conceived this prototype for the exhibition. A gem for researchers and architecture enthusiasts.
Designed around a courtyard garden that supplied natural lighting and private outdoor space, there were few windows on the exterior walls allowing the houses to be placed directly side-by-side. For viewing purposes, there was no roof but an elevated platform so exhibition goers could look inside the house from above. Appliances and work areas were hidden from view within cubicles allowing for a large open space in which to live.
In the late years it was documented by the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) with more curational material related entitled “ What the Future Looked Like” ,there you’ll find “The Sound of the Future” text by Sabine von Fischer and Beatriz Colomina Lecture “Unbreathed Air“. [Link at the bottom]

The past 6 months has been a difficult period for most of us, personally, during lockdown I didn’t really have a lot of work on, different things with work fell through and the pace of that side of my life slowed to a standstill. I was glad in a way, it gave myself and my wife the time to look after our small children while the government thankfully provided financial assistance for self employed people so that I didn’t have to worry about work as much as I would have normally.
When I had spare time in the evenings I missed drawing for the sheer pleasure of it and decided to make this gigantic image before you - as I sketeched it grew larger and larger and has now ended up in it’s final form as a huge A1 poster for kids and adults to colour in and keep afterwards. It was a fun challenge for me to make this crazy scene with tons going on and think about how a cross-section of a house might look.
I hope you enjoy checking out the images below and if you like a poster for yourself you can get one from my online shop here.

The Human Head
Ever wonder what your head would look like if it were cut in half?
Well, probably not like this. These are “average” heads. But we’ve all got some fun structures inside of us that are rarely considered by most people. Check out those beautiful conchae!
