My Bio
I am a big fan of detail. I think I pay too much attention to it and may be missing the big picture. But then again, these pictures are pretty big.

I'd love to upload more things, but some are quite large and not able to be scanned conventionally. If only there was a scanning device that was like a lint roller...

I seem to have about a week to relax before the chaos starts up again, so I'll just use this time to draw as well as upload a lot of the pictures I drew in my sketchbook all throughout last school quarter. So yeah! Enjoy :)

If you are into architecture, urban planning and NYC-related stuff, you should get the book "Delrious New York" by Rem Koolhaas. You will definitely love it!
Your city drawings are totally awesome >< I can't help but remember when I was drawing these when I was in High school. Those are really killing my back but I can't stop it until the whole page is full.

I think your weakness that you are missing big picture can be of use if you draw pictures of cities in historical times like Constantinople before renaissance. They will be very believable.
Haha, thank you! My description is only a joke, but thank you for the suggestion!
