Consoles 021

Penned by the person you may know as Luke Dorny just before dawn on March 26th, 2020 whilst leaving Bainbridge Island before getting back on the stagecoach.

Anyone else love the smell of sawdust in the wood shop?

A few years back I began sketching nearly every day as I took the Seattle Ferry to work. Which explains why most of these are squiggly. That came from the vibrations coming from the boat motors. Now that I don’t commute anymore (it’s been three years now), I actually struggle to find time to sketch.

At some point, the sketching progressed into these wild ideas about cabinet construction with mechanical doors, flaps, lift mechanisms, and gas-filled pistons. For a while there, I think I came up with every idea possible, and many that were impossible to create. I still want to create a cabinet that houses the phonograph and I want to make it by hand.

Until that happens the sketching has been a very satisfying habit/hobby. I have improved, I think, and I wanted to post some of my favorite console sketches here.
