pencil sketches.... very grubby hands


I have collected buildings from my trips around the south west - most notably was a trip to Winccombe in the Cotswolds. Each house had beautiful bricks and wonderful untypical shop front layout.
I have also been to Bideford near my hometown, where again, the modernity hasn't quite caught up with it yet. I find interest in the independent stores- after all why bother to travel if all high streets look the same with the chain shops? No, i want to see a different street in each town.
Cheltenham, where I am studying, has also given me buildings. Originally i was planning to just use Cheltenham buildings but i have found inspiration from many places.
