This is where my art journey began. The Cotton mills, rows of terraced houses, corner shops and more, were demolished on a massive scale. The heart of many communities, ripped out without a second thought. Unemployment rose to 3.5 million. I had such little time to capture those memories. Memories etched in B&W ink pen to reflect that moment. Like a negative photo, I remember those times...

Hi Patricia. The drawings were created with a fine mapping pen, taking up to 10 hours for the most detailed ones. I wanted to capture all the depth, atmoshere and realism of the subject. As my confidence increased, I started using colour so my work became less focused on the intensity, and more on the colour theme. Glad you like.
The detail is incredible. How long did you take to complete this sketch, Richard???
