Pub quiz
When a pub gives you paper and pencils there's nothing you can do but draw. Here is an example of such activities. I'm so sorry guys...
Although I believe the original is now in the Bown collection. Fame at last, hey?
We didn't win the quiz, the football round was our downfall. I think we got full marks in the literature round though.

Back in Gateshead
Back in Gateshead for a project with GRAD, so thought I'd share this page of my sketchbook.
Katie's house
Sorry it's been a bit quiet, I've been skiing... and then busy being an injured person... This sketch is of Katie's house in Wendover where I stayed on the way to and on the way home from the Alps. It's a great row of thatched cottages that Henry VIII gave to Anne Boleyn as a wedding present.

Reinvigorating the region
A couple of weeks ago I visited Reinvigorating the region a RIBA North East exhibition and these are a couple of sketches I did of some of the amazing models. It was really exciting to see models of buildings I see everyday. The building in Gosforth is the one you see from alot of the city and I had no idea it was on pilotis. I think someone (I can't remember the architect) had been looking at their Le Corb picture book but it works great. That bit of height means everyone can have a view across the Town Moor. Although I'm not sure how it works with its immediate context of 2 story 1920-30's houses...?
The Apollo Pavilion by Pasmore was modeled by a couple of friends and has quite an interesting story to it. It's in the middle of a housing estate with some very mediocre houses surrounding it. The people who lived there wanted it knocked down as it has become a place for 'trouble makers' to gather but the architect wanted the houses knocked down so his pavilion would be even more beautiful. I like the mix, the pavilion probably wouldn't exist without the houses. It makes alot more sense in the photo than the sketch...
