Studio
A small
messy
studio
(the mess is load-bearing)
Twenty-two people, one big table, too many cardboard models and a dog called Corbu. We’ve been drawing buildings in this old Kent Avenue print shop since 2009.
Things we believe
(written on the studio wall in marker)
01
Buildings are for people, not for photos.
02
Draw it by hand before you draw it on a computer.
03
If a kid wouldn’t want to climb it, think again.
04
Keep the old bricks. Keep the old trees.
05
The best detail is the one nobody notices.
