Illustration Friday: Obsession and Imperfect
This illustration applies to last weeks topic and this weeks. I am obsessed with collecting gorgeous old chairs. This is just a few that I use about the house. I love the imperfections of vintage chairs yet I love the perfection of the design.

  3. How efficient to combine the two prompts! I have an old swivel wooden chair at my drafting table that my grandfather had when he worked for the railroad. It's squeaky and not all that comfortable, but I wouldn't dream of replacing it. Great drawings.

  6. I have quite a few chairs too. I didn't realize there were other people like me. I especially like the chrome one on the end.
