new drawing | abstracting views

Over the past couple weeks I’ve been developing new concepts for graphic versions of client relevant environs. Four ecosystems are relevant to their community: city and lake, wetlands and desert. New technical solutions are supporting my interest in reducing visual ideas to their essence, distilling complexity into clean line, geometric form and simple repetition. This approach leaves room for a viewer to co-create the imagery. Here are some small sections of larger drawings still in the works.

A second approach consolidates key natural and manmade elements into single panels—leaves/foliage, water (lake, ocean, estuary), city, desert—with abstracted text creating the structure in each panel. This is a fully abstract approach with the text elements offering viewers additional information to detect and decode. Below are small sections of larger drawings still in the works.
