The Smithy
Lately, I've gotten more interested in drawing machinery, metal, tools and workshops. Sadly, I don't get to see too many workshops in New York, but I took advantage of a recent trip to Mystic to visit the blacksmith's shop. Not only is it nice and warm inside, but they have more tools than you can shake a stick at! Plus, how often do I get to see a forge? Not often enough! I have more drawings of the printer and the shipyard, which I will probably post at some point, but I think this was my favorite drawing of the trip.

I LOVE this. So frenetic and alive. It'd be great to see you do more illustrations of industrial places. This one also reminds me of Jim's metal workshop in Cedar Crest.
I love the bricks! This is excellent!!
Beautiful!
