Mark Lascelles Thornton is an english artist who has a gift for rotring drawings and on a simple blank paper he is able to create real artworks. In addition to the meticulous detail of the buildings, the work is even more amazing considering the scale: the final piece will spread across eight panels measuring 8 by 5 feet.
His last work called The Happiness Machien puts together eight panels made with rotring Isograph pen and ink, designed by different shades of grey and red, and focussed on iconic and pivotal cities in the architecture world New York, Chicago, London and also some asiatic cities such us Taipei or Kuala Lumpur.
