as far back as i can remember, i have always been fascinated by diagrams and drawings, maps, pictures of houses, buildings – the inside and outside, dollhouses and small versions of whatever. one reason i can think of now, was a big drawing mox made, when i was maybe 4 or 5 years old?
it was a full colored illusration done in 1 whole manila paper showing an airplane cut in its longitudinal section, hand-drawn by my grade-schooler big brother that time. for the kid i was then, it was huge! colored crayons depicting the seats, people and the big plane. fine details are quite hazy now, but i guess it really left an impression…
enough to make me take up architecture. but i admit i dont have the patience at all to make this minute renditions, thats why i opted for the big versions. one artist for miniatures remarked he had to go into a meditative state. he has to slow down his heart rate so his hands wouldnt tremble as much. wow. im even having trouble just completing some of my more challenging yoga asanas!
when i stumbled upon peter tucker via the weburbanist, i was simply floored. (the parquet, tiny version =)… lots more other artists there, but i simply like that he has contemporary models and designer stuff as well. simply amazing and in my language, “nakakagigil”. miniature settings you can imagine, he can make. see the following images and tell me you dont go crazy over the LED lights for lamps, minisicule designer furnitures and the fine grained-flooring and woodworks…
