Last week I got out to do a few sketches, the weather was finally more or less cooperative. A couple more industrial sketches. I just love these concrete plants and manufacturing facilities. Everyone is probably getting sick of seeing my sketches of them, but I just haven't got it out of my system yet. So I threw in a couple of churches this time to ease the strain on your eyes....

Concrete Plant - OKC

Warehouse and Elevator - OKC

St. Lukes - OKC

St. Lukes - OKC, I decided to do two sketches of this one trying to capture the dynamic forms in different light.

This is a tough time of year to sketch, it's either cold or raining. I did manage to find a little sunshine and relative warmth over the past week though.

Land O Lakes Manufacturing Plant - North Western - OKC

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.
