Helping to turn a drawing hobby into a cartooning profession
This arrived in my inbox today. I can’t help, but can you?
Matt,
Do you know of anyone who is blogging or otherwise about architectural rendering by hand (i.e., not computer rendering), or about cartooning buildings?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael
Check out brothers Damon and Kerian Oats at this link http://knotlikeyou2.deviantart.com/ .They are really incredible talented ‘Kiwi’ guys (of course) who are absobloominlutely magnifabulistic artists. Damon Oats does amazing architectural drawings of cities etc (and everything else) his brother does the mind-blowing colour work. I do have his email address but I loathe to give it out because of privacy matters. Damon and I did the same lickity-split-quick cartooning and illustrators’ course quite some time ago. See how you go trying to contact them through this website or post a question in the forum. I tried a goggle search (because I am writing my web page and needed a little light relief:0) of: architectural cartoon buildings, it threw up some interesting links.These links could put you in contact with some people who could lead you to where you want to be. Good luck and if all else fails I could be tempted to cough up the email address. It could cost you an LCD easter chocolate! Aaah licking the screen! Er, trouble is I don’t know where it has been! Exactly why people end up with viruses… licking screens!
Adios!
Bee,
Thanks for the pointers! And for the web search link, which specific phrase I hadn’t thought to try. Lots of good stuff for me to learn from. Thanks!
