"the real world"


As I went through college I constantly looked forward to "the real world" where I would be able to work all day, come back home to my wife, have a nice dinner or watch a movie on a Monday night or simply read a book. I could not wait to graduate and live in "the real world". Well this is it! I am living it and loving it! My new job involves constant traveling, in which I am sure I will have windows of time to capture my surroundings with sketches like this one.

Sí, es genial que ya durante el college constantemente estuviera el "mundo real" presente a tu alrededor.
Respecto a lo del diseño 3d... te cuento.
Cuando vi "la cabeza" de la escultura en este ultimo post, dije ah, así yo connstruyo las cabezas!,. Pero, lo que ocurre también es que hay un constante movimiento de dimensión a dimensión. La mente tiende a organizar por grupos, relacionar por contrastes: de color, de cantidad, de tamaño, de claro oscuro, de calido frio... Todo esto puede estar viviendo en la bidimensión, cuando ubicas los elementos en una
cocina, los ubicas en planta. Of course, cuando estas haciendo un thumbnail estás trabajando con todas las dimensiones a la vez.
Hay artistas que enfatizan más en una que en otras.
Disculpa el rollo pero me gustó el tema que sacaste..:-)
Les deseo un esplendido 2009!
btw, weird dogs you meet around your neighborhood!!

And just to think if your flight had been a day earlier...

Can't wait to see drawings from your travels.

Hi Edgar. I travel all over the UK and don't make the most of the opportunity to sketch. It's on my agenda this year! Good to see your work.
