Skyway #8 connects the Golden Rule Building and Metro Square. The latter is a low-rise Modernist glass building housing a smattering of Ramsey County offices. Its facade being relatively continuous, Metro Square also neatly reflects its surroundings, including the above Skyway. From certain angles, the Skyway appears twice as long as it is in reality …

St. Paul Skyway #7
February 4, 2013 - 10:47 amSkyway #7 is one of those rare deceptive Skyways. Walking through it, you might not realize you’re passing over Cedar St. (unless you’re looking northwest toward the Capitol, anyway, then it’s very clear). That’s because #7 is also occupied by two retail spaces*, neither of which is located exclusively within the footprint of the Skyway. …
St. Paul Skyway #6
February 1, 2013 - 1:52 pmSkyway #6 is located just a couple blocks closer to downtown from where we started off not so long ago, Skyway #1.
St. Paul Skyway #5
January 29, 2013 - 2:43 pmSkyway #5 is the last to stretch over 7th Street, connecting the Golden Rule Building with Robert St. Parking Ramp. Like #3, I drew this one from #4. It’s the first that I’ve drawn orthogonally, dead-on, with little visible perspective. This choice came from #5′s excellent symmetry. It’s seven panels long, with each panel perfectly …
St. Paul Skyway #4
January 26, 2013 - 2:02 pmI drew #3 and #5 from inside this Skyway, but finding the right vantage point to capture an interesting view of #4 was something of a challenge.
St. Paul Skyway #3
January 24, 2013 - 7:42 pmBeyond surface details, speaking from experience, I would venture that there might be more joy in Skyway #3 than any other.
St. Paul Skyway #2
January 18, 2013 - 9:00 amSkyway #2 connects the Gallery Building (new home of the Church of Scientology) and McNally Smith College of Music, where I worked for a little over a year.
St. Paul Skyway #1
January 17, 2013 - 8:29 pmIn which I attempt to draw each of the Skyways of downtown St. Paul, starting (logically) with #1 in the ordered system.
Galtier Towers – Drawing
June 29, 2012 - 8:32 pmDid this one over the last two days. I started with a gestural outline of both towers to get an idea of the composition I wanted. Then worked from the top of the tower on the left (Sibley Tower) down, filling out the structure as I went, to the condos and atrium at the bottom …
