Chinese United Mansions


This was the start I made on the Mansions - not very successful! Luckly I have some very good friends who offered me some help...

Revit - Semi 3-D




Just some 3-D images of the house - I dont know how to create materials and effects so its not a very realistic or good looking model

Revit - Semi 2



These are 2 elevations that better show the change in level

Revit - The Semi



For one of my revit projects I chose to do my semi-detached house in Brixton. I cant really use Revit so this is my best attempt. I am not to sure how to show ground in Revit and my site is quite important to understanding the building. Basically I chose to cut away the site so therefore you enter on level 2 but you access the garden from level 1 (I tried to use trees to show this).

Black and White Series




Some black and white wire frame images - I find these can show detail very well.

Neutral Series






As I see my portrait as a lanscape these images are to show the elevations

Colour Series






Hopefully this 1 will actually contain images

Picasso Final - Colour Series

The Final Product:
In the end I found that my 3-D image look very much like a city scene. So I kept everything very rectalinear so that it appeared as a sort of skyscraper city. In this city there is a main road (my hair), a raised public area like a park, and lots of buildings (small and large). This really took quite alot of time (defining all the areas and such) but I am quite happy with the end product. I would have prefered to have posted an animated fly-through the city but I just couldn't make it work. My photoshop isn't working either - so I couldn't comeup with 1 final composition. But that suits me just fine because I am incapable of making decisions and therefore will post about a million images of the final work.

Here are the colour images I chose to use.

Self-Portrait (Again)


Ok - so before i post the final work I thought I would explain my self-portrait in relation to Picasso and my motivations. Firsly, the background was mosaiced in order to represent Cubism, and this incidently shows light and dark very well. Secondly, since Picasso like to look at objects/scenes from multiple perspectives to compose the final image I chose to break my face into different segments/features. I then explored light and dark with different techniques in the segments. A few very bold colours (although not all primary) complete the 'Picasso' look.

A Break from the Usuall Boring Stuff


A photo from Congress '06 - The Des Baker Evening
It was loads of fun as you can see!
(such a crazy evening even if I slept through some of it)
