last Monday since it was a hoilday i went out with my dad to the Greenbridge condos site to sketch the construction site . I used a Japanese style moleskin which folds in and out like an accordion. I was able to do three sketches i will post the other two sometime this coming week.

I though i should start posting some of the sketches I did in Philadelphia over winter break. Overall i did 30 sketches in one week while i was up there . I am really bad about scanning drawings from my small moleskine sketchbook. Here are two of my favorite sketches from my vacation. The top one is from a pizzeria in Chestnut hill looking at a church and the other I sat outside on Christmas morning and drew the Gravers Lane station. Gravers lane has to be one of my favorite train stations it was designed by Frank Furness one of my favorite victorian era achictects.

Last weekend i was able to get out to carrboro so I could draw the Greenbridge Condos. They are really coming along, the glass and the brick skin are almost complete . The inside is coming along on Monday I saw then bringing up air shafts to install. The scanner really whited out the side of the building . I can't wait to see what the stores at ground level will be , I am curious though who the tenants of the retail space will be.

I was on the Greenbridge website and saw that the condos should be complete by spring this year so i though I should post the latest sketches of the condos that I have done. The condos are really coming along they are starting to install windows and some of the outside brick skin is complete. I plan on drawing the condos sometime this coming week .

Here are two more sketches from Philadelphia, the top sketch is of Mermaid Lane SEPTA train Bridge. The second sketch was drawn form Beau Monde a creperie near south st in Philadelphia.
