Cane Hill Mental Asylum

February 2004. I went to visit this place and it's incredibly scary, it's all closed down now and is falling to pieces, and it has the most eerie atmosphere surrounding it. 4B, 5B and 6B pencils used on A4 paper, I'm actually quite pleased with how this turned out, I actually included quite a bit of detail and I discovered that if you put a piece of paper underneath your hand when you draw, the drawing doesn't get smudged! Ooooh! I think just about EVERYONE knew that but me, hehe. So therefore, my drawing looks quite a bit crisper that usual. This part of the building actually looks quite intact, aside from the smashed windows... and that open window gives me the creeps.

I'm going through your work wondering which one I should comment on... I could comment on all of them, but they would all say the same thing: INCREDIBLE!!! and that might get boring... You have a fantastic gift... :)
