...ONE BOURBON , ONE SCOTCH , ONE BEER.............

...3 quick sketches for a pub we are working on here in the UK, out in the country in the Peak District, shadows and all.........

I haven't worked on a pub for a while now , although as designers they used to be our bread and butter ; a quick calculation would suggest that I have worked on well over 2000 of them in varying degrees over the years , so I should be getting the hang of it by now. Bear in mind as well that these sketches are never intended for publication - prior to the advent of the internet and websites they were never seen by more than four or five people ; they are always just a suggestion of the ideas , the potential of the finished interior in order to get clients to commit.

.....So, at least 2000 pubs and 5000 sketches or so along the way. Its a hard life.............think i'll have a beer.

.......and this is what a sketch will look like in line format before the colour is added..........   

                                   

............Further , we have just picked up the refurbishment for a new-build pub I did for North -West brewer J.W.Lees , The Kingfisher in Northwich.- I thought we had done it some five years or so ago, but checking our records it was at least twelve years ago........so thats more pub sketches , then .........and another beer................... and finally , one of my favorites - and this one didn't get to be built - for political reasons as usual.......where's that beer ?
