The Steel Mill Part 3

This is possibly the coolest place I've been to, in recent memory. I'm posting these in reverse, so while technically this is the third of the posts, I'm putting the third group of photos... here. Well, Doesn't that work out nicely :)

This batch of photos is from one of the old workshops located inside the mill. The workshop was filthy, old rusted tools were strewn about and there was a soft carpet of fine black soot. The lathe beneath the window gave me a fright for a second, I'd thought it was a person.

I think these might be my favorite of the photos.

The Steel Mill Part 4

This is possibly the coolest place I've been to, in recent memory. I'm posting these in reverse, so while technically this is the second of the posts, I'm putting the fourth group of photographs here.

This is the outside of the steel mill, where the loading and offloading of the steel took place. You can see the holding tank for the sludge that was generated, along with the large bucket scoop that deposited it there, half buried in the sludge it was meant to move. There is also a rusted old storage shed for propane and nitrogen canisters.

The Steel Mill Part 5

This is possibly the coolest place I've been to, in recent memory. I'm posting these in reverse, so while technically this is the first of the posts, I'm putting the last of the photographs here.

This last batch of photos consists of the large and empty West Bay. It is where the steel rods and cables were stored before they were shipped out. The first few photos are of some rubble, but the next two sort of give you a sense of scale of the building. Well... not really. The building surely could have hosted at least 4 soccer feilds, and the technician with us told me that each of the lights in the ceiling were 1000 watt bulbs.

Yikes.

The last photo is my favorite of this batch, possibly all of the batches, it's of the ceiling mounted crane, still sitting there after three years of abandonment.

Anthony's Birthday Present

Here it is, the completed birthday present for my friend, Anthony. Yes, the Anthony I've drawn a whole bunch of times. The girl in the drawing, as usual, is his lady friend, Tasha.

Drawing Lessons, Anyone?

I've recently decided that I should try doing some drawing lessons. As in, me teaching people how to draw.

So, if for some reason, you want me to teach you how to draw, give me a shout and we can set something up.

I know how to draw with pencils rather well, and ink, but I'm especially good at the scanning and photoshop aspect of it.

A Musician and Her Instrument

This is the first of a series of drawings of girls with various instruments. Presumably, each girl is a different personality, and plays a different instrument. The band is a standard seven person ska band, so there will be Trombone, Trumpet, Sax, Drums, Bass, Guitar, and Singer.

Hope you like her, she took about six to eight hours to complete, pencil, inked, scanned and photoshopped.

An Inked Tromboner

Once again, a trombone playing girl. A tromboner, if you will.

Inked, and hopefully, soon coloured.

Temporary Tromboner

A girl who is a trombone player. A tromboner, if you will. She doesn't have her trombone yet, this is just a rough sketch so far.

Update: Now she actually has a trombone :)

A Cute Little Angel, Supposedly

This is a drawing of one of my friends, Cailin, inspired by a photo of her I saw.

Don't be deceived by that cute smile and halo, she can be ferocious. Rawr.

The Beach

A few photos while we were at the beach. Alishia got up on a rock, and I took photos :D
