It took me almost five years of begging in order to gain possession of this amazing and beautiful sculpture from my professor and design mentor Novem Mason. The first time I saw this sculpture in his office my jaw dropped. I could not believe the amount of planes and details, and neither could I imagine how he made it. It is truly something to see, but hard to draw as you can imagine. Today Suzanne and I decided to pay a tribute to Novem Mason with a couple of sketches. Thank you Novem!

Edgar qué suerte que has dejado ese comentario en mi blog, porque a través
de él pude conocer este blog que tienes lleno de corazón!
Dentro de unas horas te estarás preparando para el gran momento.
Sí, odias decir adios, pero en el momento te das cuenta que es todo sentimiento,
te entregas a esa percepción, como ese cielo que no podías dejar pasar de
Greensboro, o los ojos de tu perro.
Esa percepción se nota en tus dibujos, cómo sientes el espacio y la circulación.
Tienes ya incorporado el lenguaje del dibujo arquitectónico, con su correspondiente
caligrafía de arquitecto inseparables del mundo de la vertical y la horizontal.
El mundo ortogonal es un mundo muy poderoso; es mágico cuando las lineas libres se
cortan entre sí, vas de la bidimensión a la tridimensión. Todo se hace transparente,
(perspectiva es "perspiceo"= ver a través). Ese cruzarse de lineas libres siempre los
vi en los dibujos de Wright pero llevado a sutilezas infinitas.
Cuando vi la foto del bus shelter, como no hay escala humana, pensé que era una
mesa estilo Oud, otro maestro de las lineas libres.
Bueno, de nuevo, sinceramente, congratulations por tu graduación!
Ya seguiremos charlando.
Btw, ayer justo estaba mirando "Titanium", y decía "a mí me gusta... no sé.. nadie me comentó
nada" y justo apareció tu comentario.
Saludos
Ernesto
wao Ernesto! tu comentario me honra y como dicen en ingles: "you just made my day". Gracias por tan gentil comentario y tu cuidadosa observacion! Gracias hermano!
Sounds like Ernesto is a nice man and has a lot of respect for you--as I am sure you do for him.
Nice sculpture. For some reason, it reminds me of a musical instrument such as a clarinet or oboe.
Congrats on your graduation as well!
The bus shelter...amazing. Diferent in a product that looks just the same every where.
Fiquei realmente admirado com a estação de autocarros. É um design diferente para um produto que é igual em todo o mundo.
Allie, I have named this comment: "The Comment of the Year". It is beautiful and meaningful. Sorry it is in spanish, but yes... it is a comment full of respect and appreciation. And thank you so much for your nice comments!
I'm with Allie - it has a musical instument look about it, when I saw it my first thought was Cello - but Oboe works. A lovely drawing - looking forward to more of the Suzanne/Edgar sketch-offs in the new year. Keep well
