OK, so I took all week last week off from work. It was awesome. Just stayed at home and spent time with the fam. Despite the awful weather I did actually get to do a little sketching. I had to do most of it from inside my car, which I hate, it somehow seems separated still. Oh well.....the results are here.....


Stage Center - Downtown OKC


Oklahoma Cotton Oil Producers CoOp - OKC

Silo - Midwest City




Emerson Elementary School - Downtown OKC


Crown Heights Christian Church - North Western Avenue - OKC


Will Rogers Theater - North Western Avenue - OKC




Southwestern Bell Building - downtown OKC
This sketch is a little different. I was actually commissioned to do this sketch by my friend and colleague Blair Humphreys. His brother (Grant) and dad (Kirk) own and run their business out of the building in the lower left side of the sketch. He asked me to do a sketch of their building with their sign etc. and show some cool OKC downtown skyline in the background. So with a little artistic license on the positioning and angle of buildings this was the result. Happily Blair reported that Grant loved the sketch.

  4. Awesome job! I'm new to drawing/sketching & saw you on the UrbanSketchers site. I love Center Stage, it's such a unique building to start with. I bet it was fun to sketch.

  5. Hi Geoff, I saw your work via the UrbanSketchers site as well. Your drawings are really compelling. The crosshatching nicely pulls the viewer in and it's a pleasure to observe the patterns created as much as what is being drawn.
