New Zealand Odyssey: 39 Elliott Street, Auckland

'New Zealand Odyssey', published in 1989 by Heinemann, was authored by Don Donovan (who did the text and illustrations) and Euan Sarginson, who did the photography and design. In this series of blog posts, I will publish some of my drawings.

I went sketching with a friend in North Canterbury once and after half an hour's earnest scratching he suddenly burst out, 'Blast, I've left out a whole mountain!'.

It's easy to do. In the case of this unusual brick building, I didn't leave anything out - I added a level that wasn't there! I'll leave you to work out which one but I don't think I did the structure any harm.
