Abandoned graffiti space, Melbourne: digital photography

A while ago I stumbled on an abandoned, boarded up graffitied space located within inner Melbourne. Here are some photos I took to document the area.

Pug: ink and bush, watercolour (digital composition)

Tonight I've decided to bring one of my past favourite sketches, Pug, back to life with added colour and quirk for a future project.

MCDrawn's European Vacation — Part 2: Siena, Italy (digital photos)

Siena, leg two of the journey. It was here that I met my two travel companions who I would be lucky to share the rest of the vacation with. A beautiful part of the world with a spectacularly carved Duomo. 

Lion — sketch: ink, brush and nib

Still not sure about this one but onwards and upwards and all of that jazz.

MCDrawn's European Vacation — Part 1: Rome, Italy (digital photos)

For much of the last month I've been wandering around Italy and Germany taking a break from the usual routine of things. Streets are often an influence to me so while away a camera was kept close to my hip. Here are some of the moments, places and textures captured. First stop Rome.

Faulty Film — Europe: Film, rangefinder camera

Unfortunately during a very early stage of my recent trip the focusing lens of my rangefinder camera broke. Before I was able to fix the camera I needed to finish the film stuck inside. Though the photos are faulty I'm finding the faults kind of interesting. Second to this I wish I had traveled with a tripod. Next time perhaps.
