Did The Boy do all the line drawing himself?

Of course. The most remarkable bit of this whole venture was his sheer commitment to drawing on a daily basis. It became a serendipitous relationship between a kid with a passion, and a Mum whose job as a designer is to enhance the raw material she's given. We simply scanned his line work, and sometimes combined them, before adding colour to make the final product.

How old was he when he started?

He first showed interest in drawing buildings during our trip to London when he was five. He was fascinated by both the architectural and engineering aspects, so his favourite TV shows were usually documentaries about skyscrapers, mega tunnels and bridges. Now he’s older, he’s obsessed with documentaries and books about science, maths and engineering.

How many cities did he draw?

During his drawing obsession, he drew almost 60 buildings from 14 cities around the world, including Agra, Barcelona, Berlin, London, Mexico City, Moscow, New York, Paris, Perth (and Fremantle), Rome, Santiago, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto and Venice.

Has he visited them all?

Alas no. All his drawings from London, Fremantle and Perth were drawn in situ. The rest were the result of what he liked the look of on his favourite search engine.

Did you make him do it?

If we'd discovered how to get a child to do something they didn't want to with such zeal, we'd have patented it and stashed the proceeds in an offshore tax haven. In short, no.

What's next?

Who knows? His drawing obsession ended some time ago so we’re excited to see what his brains latches onto in the future.
