Well I’ve been thoroughly absorbed in studying my MArch and trying to earn enough pennies to survive. So fun and illustration have been lacking recently! Well, not fun as such. I went to this awesome mind opening lecture held at uni the other evening.

C J Lim presented work from his three lives. That of the real world, masterplans and architecutral commissions in his practice Studio 8. His speculative dream like work also within practice but a totally freeing way of expressing, and that of his love of food all wrapped up in the above!

His work “London in two and half dimensions” was wildly speculative absolutely lacking in practical function. But that was what I loved about it, it was the narrative and the method of expressing this. The two and half dimensions is best described by visualising a 2d architectural drawing, then popping up elements and messing with scale and focussing on the pure elements that make up the narrative.

I wanna make stuff like this! But without all the hours of cutting out the tiny tiny elements with blades and tweezers.
