China Drawings Set 7

Drawings from riding Beijing Subway Line 10 on a Saturday.

I must have giving as many away to the people I drew. The price of a free model.

Original Drawing

Available from the store.

These were drawn in Beijing on a Saturday and Sunday in November. while I was riding on Line 10 which runs under the 3rd Ring Road.

The big loop around the city. Line 10 was one stop away from where I lived in 2009, near Line 1.I’m not sure where I was going or just riding the loop around the city so I could draw.While drawing on the subway or at a bus stop I would attract a bit of attention, and would end up giving away about half of the drawings.But hey, I got free models, and was a way to avoiding some people who might otherwise feel offended.

VFX Art

I have been drawing since 2nd grade when my teacher in Copenhagen gave me drawing books instead of "teaching this American kid who would only be in Denmark for a year."

I've always experimented with new materials and forms. Drawing, painting, calligraphy, hand lettering, 3D animation and visual effects.

Now that I'm older I seek to combine all of those forms of media to make new images.
