✨100 Years of #! I will be celebrating with an article sharing my favorite abandoned Art Deco photos. But first, I will share 5 new locations in the run up to the main article!

As an # photographer, I love exploring Art Deco's unique geometry and colors. It is my favourite # style.

Here's a sneak peek from one of my favorite locations. Three visits here, and stepping into this car space still get my heart racing.

I took a course back in 2017 where the assignment was to visit buildings, sketch them, and write about them. It was one of the happiest things I’ve ever done. I should still do it TBH.

Anyway here is a series of details from the course.
# #
A series of nine architectural details, colored pencil in black paper: sunken ceiling light, metal spiky wall sconce,door handle made from a gilded sheep’s horn with an inlaid green stone; outdoor seating area with a tree, metal beams holding up curved wooden rafters, large polished lozenge shaped door handles; copper pendant cylinder lamp hanging from a waffled ceiling, faux stained glass rosette, tiling detail on a wall.
 
Wet Reflections, Richmond

Time for wet knees again! I couldn't resist some puddle photography at Richmond London Underground station. I always love the new shapes created by mirror reflections.

A photographer that I enjoy and am inspired by is Andreas Gursky

Especially these images of the grocery stores or the architectural photographs.

A drawing of a fantasy world, with a big Art Nouveau building in limestone, with roofs made of ochre and moss green. There's many fantastical buildings in the distance, and every building and tower has a vertical wind turbine on it. There's a person in closeup, with their back turned at the camera. They wear an elaborate red dress with a yellow and green headdress and a green jacket. In the background, by the big building, several young people wearing what looks like a chef uniform having different colors each one are walking around the place. On the sky, behind the clouds, distant continents can be seen.
A Valentines greeting card, featuring an elaborate geometric design in the background in white and light and strong pink. In front of it, an olive skinned lady with a beauty mark in the shape of a heart below her left eye, with pink eyes with heart irises. She is wearing a hot pink late Victorian gown, with big sleeves with many frills, as well as a complex bodice that has many closures and small hearts embroided into it. Her dark brown hair is in a big updo full of swirls, with a beige straw hat that has two long brown feathers and a pink ribbon, which secures it to her head by tying it under the chin with a big hot pink ribbon bow on her right side. Her full skirt has vertical ribbons with embroidered hearts at the end, and she's holding a big bouquet of red roses in one hand and a heart-shaped box of chocolates in the other, the box with a thick shiny brown ribbon and made of pink striped carbdoard. She's wearing pink gloves each one with a heart embroidered on it, and she's wearing a light pink choker with a heart jewel on it as well as golden earrings shaped like ribbon bows, with red gems hanging from them. She smiles, as the text around her says in elaborate calligraphy "Happy Valentines!"
Four chocolates surrounded by icy mist. They are round bonbons made of dark chocolate, each one with a complex snowflake pattern of white chocolate piped over it. The chocolates and the icy mist give off a faint blue glow, and there's several large snowflakes floating around them.
A drawing of a fantasy world. There's an image of a big building with green art nouveau facades full of scrollwork. Each tower of the building is decorated with a golden onion domes, except for the big central tower, which has an ivory color, pineapple-like dome. This tower has a big rounded window with white scrollwork around it, and below it is the entrance of the building, giving the impression of a museum. In front of the museum there's an open square, with big parts of it destined to colorful plants, and a big golden statue in the center of the square featuring dynamic sculptures of different people. The statue and the building are big, as there are several people walking around the square, dressed in extravagant clothes from different regions and colors, as the rest of the city appears distant on the left of the image. There's a windmill, as well as vertical wind turbines on all the towers of thebuilding. Behind the clouds of the image, distant continents peek out from the sky, a zone that's visible glowing full of active volcanoes.
 
Approaching The Orange Insect

Photography of a commuter walking down the stairs at Surrey Quays Overground Station. This was one of my main stations as I child, so despite the change I always nostalgically refer to this as the East London Line on the Underground.

Hegg's simple seminar palace on a cliff. You are supposed to fly up there to participate. Half boarding rooms and half seminar rooms. There is a cafeteria and a library. There is no gym. You should fly around to exercise. # # # #

Kaufhauses Georg Blank in Witten, NRW (um 1900). Inspiriert von einigen belgischen Jugendstil-Stahlkonstruktionen, die in jener Zeit errichtet wurden. ✨📐✏️
Neulich fand ich in einem Warenhaus bei uns alles, was ich suchte. Ich finde ich es so schade, dass diese Art einzukaufen ausstirbt und offenbar nicht mehr so recht unterstützt wird. 💔

# # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Kaufhaus in Glas und Stahl, um 1900, große Fensterflächen zwischen verzierten und geschwungenen Stahl-Rahmen, Giebel mit welligen Jugendstil-Formen, ebenso Fensterrahmen mit geschwungenen und gebogenen Sprossen, Balkone mit reichverzierzen Gittern in Jugendstil-Formen (florale Motive)

Mansion - Outline 1 - ink

My waterproof fountain pen ink arrived today. I'm really glad I don't have to ink this with nibs...

# # # # #
Sketch, partially inked: A mansion-like house on top of a deep cellar and cave structure connected by stairs/ladders; within most caves exist further rooms. Each of the rooms contains something different - a library, a workshop, a lab, a cryogenic chamber, a mine, a church, a printing press, a miniature city, an cave lake, etc.

That's it: No more changes. Feel free to explore the 50 rooms/levels while I ink this. 🔎

Mansion - detail sketch 1 + detail

The most fascinating aspect of drawing details like this is finding out how little I know about everyday stuff like "what do functioning houses plausibly contain?".

PS: Thanks to @JohanEmpa for the building standards review! 😉
