Atomic Ranch - The Design Issue

A couple month ago the editor, Sarah Jane Stone of Atomic Ranch, contacted me about the possibility of illustrating a story the magazine was writing about the 4 defining rooflines of the Mid-Century Modern movement. Uhhh...how fast can I say YES!!! What a great opportunity to work with such a well-respected publication.

An MCM Classic - The Butterfly

I was given free reign to create visual examples of the 4 rooflines: Low Slung, Flat Roof, Butterfly, and A-Line. Fun! I searched for reference ideas of each of the rooflines to begin the process of creating what I felt personified those styles. I got to play Mid-Century Modern architect...well...sort of. I had a GREAT time working on this project. I'm very thankful to Atomic Ranch for this amazing opportunity. You were amazing to work with!
This morning, AR posted an interview about my home illustrations, the process of creating them, and why I'm interested in Mid-Century Modern architecture. I hope you'll get to check it out. It was fun to have the opportunity to talk about why I'm so passionate about these unique homes.

I hope you'll pick up a copy of the magazine at the newsstand. The Design Issue is a special edition -in addition to the quarterly magazine. It is absolutely jam packed with stories and photos of "Icons of the MidCentury Era". A great issue!
