Coming at yall once again with a museum study, but this time I couldn't stop myself from just making the main drawing itself an MAI - it's MY sketchbook and I GET to make her a robot!

But yeah the M-21 is probably one of my favorite pieces there, my only peeve is that they have it elevated off the ground so my drawing angles are limited; I actually had to stand while drawing this piece, which is why it's not a "fullbody."

It's been a wild couple of days, so i haven't had the time to stop and post these. I went to the Museum of Flight with my partner on Sunday.

I was absolutely obsessed with the Concorde (sorry, Brits, the French are right on the definite article issue) as a child. I was 11 when they retired these birds and while, by that time, I knew that I'd never be able to afford to fly on them (let alone become a pilot on them) I was absolutely devastated. The Concorde is, unequivocally, the most beautiful machine I have ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes on.

I found out just last week that the Concorde at The Museum of Flight (G-BOAG, line number 214) was not only in Seattle, but open for walkthrough.

I kind of Mister-Magoo'd my way into a vacation that started last week, and with nothing else to do, I organized a quick day trip with my sweetie, with this as the main event.

We blocked out about 4 hours at the museum, saving the Concorde for the last few minutes. It was, unfortunately, a rush at the end, as we had to make our way back to the bus stop quickly in order to get to King Street Station to catch our train back to Portland, but it was a truly magical moment. As I paused at the cabin entrance to lay my hand on this magnificent elder stateswoman of aviation, something inside of me opened up.

The dream of the small child I still carry with me, made real. The communion with this glorious machine, that carried people not only above the clouds but beyond the speed of sound. That wholeheartedly embodied the midcentury, postwar optimism of science and technology, an optimism I once shared but have since soured on. It affected me.

She's real, and I have known her in the only way I can.

Another weekend, another study at the museum - I'll be the first to admit that this isn't my finest work, but it's about the best I can do when the museum is like three times as packed as usual LMAO - something about hosting several birthday parties and a field trip and an exhibition event all at the same time and having to focus through that

I picked the HH-52A because A) haven't drawn a helicopter there yet, thought I needed to, and B) can't have people walking in between you and your subject when it's hanging up in the air amirite
