21 October 2022 A few weeks ago I published a pencil illustration of a back porch addition. This is a design presentation drawing of the interior portion of that same remodeling project, specifically of a new proposed relocated kitchen. (#2 pencil on white tracing paper). Pencil drawings like this are fairly quick to make and I love seeing some of …
From May of this year, this simple pencil rendering depicts a porch addition to a house in Cincinnati. The drawing is constructed from a photograph I took while onsite to take dimensions of the existing house and yard. I still love making drawings with a number 2 pencil!
From 2020, this drawing (ink liners and gray markers on yellow trace paper) depicts a proposed kitchen remodeling for a 1950’s ranch house in Cincinnati. I look at standard ranches from that era as blank slates to be opened up and improved upon!
15 March 2019 This is another recent design drawing of one of my projects in Cincinnati (pigment liner, gray markers, and pencil eraser on white trace paper). Like a lot of the illustrations and sketches I’ve shared before, this one was done as part of a series to explain a proposed design concept to my client. Executed in a couple …

In this video clip my client Kathy Holwadel sits with Brent Hodge and Jeff …

The second of them was held @ Switch on Fourth in Cincinnati in February. Switch offers exquisite expertise in lighting design and products as well as modern furniture. In this short video, my …
This is to say thanks to the great people at Housetrends Magazine for their piece on one of my recent projects, the Holwadel Residence in Newport, KY. Check out the article at https://www.housetrends.com/digital-issue%20target= (page 24); fine writing by Sarah Dills and wonderful photography by Ross Van Pelt! I love working at a high level of detail such as I was able to …
This past September I asked photographer Ross Van Pelt to meet me in Ft.Thomas KY at a house I designed some 20 years ago. I always loved this light-filled house but the four or five images of it taken with film photography had been lost. During the shoot I served as amateur photographer’s assistant. For about four hours one Monday, I …
