#retro interior

The pinnacle of 1970s suburban masculinity: thick, woolly shag carpeting that could easily hide a missing deck of cards, Early American colonial revival furniture, short-sleeved dress shirts, and a giant cigar clamped firmly in the jaw. That intense handshake across the poker table carries the solemnity of a multi-million dollar corporate merger, but they're likely just fighting over a three-dollar pot.

A2 sized charcoal study of my grandpa's laboratory in his pharmacy for my uni application portfolio last year.

My grandpa passed away a few years ago so it was a bit emotionally taxing to spend so much time in this space where everything reminds me of him but I always loved it with it's "last renovated in the 70's" vibes and the pharmaceutical knick-knacks all around ,I liked hanging around it as a kid , watching my grandpa mix creams or make slime with his chemist knowhow for me and my borther (that was before youtube even was a thing and way way way before the diy slime craze, we called it fake snot here back then, very appealing :"D) , anyway it's a place that holds a lot of good memories turned bittersweet now, that I like the look of so it was a no brainer for a study subject to choose :')
