Barn Interior by Scott Tulay

Looking at the work of Scott Tulay it should come as no surprise that he is both artist and architect.  The drawing above was the won the 2008 Wiley Award for Excellence in Hand Delineation from the 34th KRob Architectural Drawing Competition (try saying that 10 ten times in a row). There’s something very compelling about his drawings as they, in my mind, are somewhere between abstract and realistics – an interesting area for exploration; but Mr. Tulay says it much better than I could (from his website):

One of my interests in architecture is the dissolution of the edge between building and landscape. My drawing studies are an extension of that interest, as I explore the nebulous relationship between assemblies of walls, beams or groupings of trees and the landscape beyond.  This series of charcoal, pastel and ink drawings explores varying degrees of human intervention with the landscape.  Each drawing begins as an empty landscape with a perspective towards the sky.  The sky, which is completely devoid of rectilinear man-made geometries, is then layered with various degrees of human presence, whether with a simple phone pole or a complex structure.  The light struggles to penetrate these spaces as their forms are fragmented by dark shadows.  Sometimes the white of the paper is light; other times it is an object, creating spatial ambiguity.

Organic Abstract No 1 by Michael Herring

Michael Herring is an artist both from Des Moines, Iowa, and Joliet, Illinois—home of the Blues Brothers if I’m not mistaken.  Looking through Mike’s work I had a hard time picking anything out, there are just so many good drawings.  Besides the fluid, organic abstractings that are thus aptly named, I quite enjoy the meeting, as it were, of the modern day cubicle desk jockey and the grim skulls that seem to be eating the poor lads alive.  Unfortunately, I can relate.  Many of the many drawings are done in black, blue, and red, making me wish I had a pair of 3D glasses.

Although Mr. Herring has a “Drawing & Painting” section on his website, you want to check out his blog.  You can either just browse the “Drawing” category for his many drawings, but you must also check out his sweet paintings.  If you happen to live in Boulder, Colorado, check out his show.

“Sphere with In-Stripe” by Randolphlee McIver

Self-proclaimed “Figurative Painter, Draughtsman, and Sculptor” Randolphlee McIver has some truly stunning and utterly unique drawings the likes of which I don’t come across often.  Above is just one example of a multitude of different styles; this one being what I see as 2-d figures on 3-dimension objects.  Great stuff
