I was recently informed that two of my drawings will be included in the book "Strokes of Genius 7: Depth, Dimension + Space!" which is being published by North Light Books in October of 2015. As the title indicates, the theme of the book is how artists try to create the illusion of space on a two dimensional surface. The drawings that I submitted are below.

Larkinville

This pen and ink drawing is of the seneca street overpass, heading into the Larkinville area of Buffalo NY. The Frank Lloyd Wright Larkin administration building was on the left side of this street. Unfortunately it's now a parking lot. Many of the buildings in the area are being renovated.
Below is the time lapse video of me working on this drawing. I worked on it in two sessions because the batteries in my camera died. Sometimes it's good to take a break from a drawing and look at it with "fresh eyes".
When I returned to it I darkened the street and the sky, and I worked on the details in the railing.
