Years ago I took a photo of a run down area of Blyth. This area has since been demolished and recently I had the idea of transforming my photo into my bendy buildings style. I used my six for a pound (£) coloured pencils from WH Smith and my Rotring Isograph pen .. oh, and I tinted parts of the picture with watercolour pencils before starting.

Very artistic,great work.
Do you get a lot of earthquakes in Blyth Dave? But seriously, this is typical of of some of the older parts around here. And your Smith pencils are working well.
Three years on and my Smiths pencils are still in use :)

I love your style if I have not already said so! Your colors are so bright and fun! I look forward to seeing what you put up next!!
very cool piece! i love how the chimney twists around =)…
it has a lovely feel to it.
I like your use of color (or colour as you say) too. And how you make your buildings wavy. I have done this myself in my work. Keep up the good work!
