one thing led to another

When one of the most respected Architect Hart Howerton put this family-oriented space and design together for the renowned inn at harbor town country club, we ended up with the result of downright charming that brought out all that warm fussy feeling in everybody who came across.

And to effectively represent this idea in an image, I chose a combination of traditional (hand-drawn) and digital (photoshop) with a bit of help of a 3D base model (SketchUp). We end up with a compelling result of this late afternoon setting with fun activities for the whole family by the poolside in front of the southern marchland charm.

this result let me receive one of the most prestigious awards from the most respected architecture illustration community, “ASAI award of excellency 2017.”

It’s not just a lunch break anymore

Sometimes when you get caught up working on the same project for an extended period, it could weaken your creativity. Your day could get even worse if you forget to look up at the sky every once in a while, telling yourself to get up and walk around outside for some fresh air sometime.

Your body always appreciates some exercise after lunch and your mind as well.

You just got to finish your meal fast and sketch faster...

here is some sketch I did with pen and ink in just about 20 mins during my lunch hour, and the result is strangely satisfying!

creative process

When people think about space, they usually associate space with static, but it is quite contrary to reality.

Space is always filled with people and activity; therefore, it is harder still but constantly shown signs of movement. it continually evolves and changes throughout the day depending on its function. 

And you will want to capture it at its most active and vibrant

successful space will always show sign of used lots of it. As an illustrator, we have been training to understand the nature of these small but significant signs as our second nature when we think about space and when we try to capture one.

Architecture within the space will always serve as a place for the people within it.
