Lines and Grids

I am measuring with my eyes and a rough building footprint which may not be to scale. I couldn't fit the doors into my guideline grid on this one. So I drew the doors separately and will merge it all together in proportion with Photoshop - in addition to all the corrections indicated by my pencil lines and arrows.

This building is the END of the BLOCK. Next step is to scan all the drawings for this block and string together the streetscape.

I will take some measurements on the next block I draw.

I LOVE weekends

Commercial Cottage

There is a FOR RENT sign in front of this cottage on busy Oglethorpe Avenue,

two doors down from the fire station. It is zoned Commercial. It appears

out of place here, looking instead as if it should be on a shady street

in a small village. Well, if you ignore

the traffic, crowds and suburban sprawl,

Savannah is a small village of shady streets.

I appreciate these eclectic streetscapes.

Mapping Progress

back to the DRAWING board (again)

Really. I mean it, this time. I don't want this to be

a documentation of the apologetic process

of trying to make drawings of the streets of Savannah.

(Streetscapes of Utah)

I had the fortune of traveling through EUREKA, UTAH recently.

A silver mining town that peaked around the turn of the 20th century.

I am thinking about carving out little pockets of time

to draw streets in other towns I visit

(notably Charleston, South Carolina.)

Thinking about it

is taking the time I could use in actually doing it...

back to the DRAWING board

A little rusty after months of book-making.

The Savannah Fire Department is a good starter, and it's in a great block on

Oglethorpe Avenue with a highly eclectic streetscape.

I'll work on better (photo)documentation.
