The Lighthouse in the Sky…
by thisnorthernboy
Finally finished and coloured an illustration that I started a few weeks ago. Vaguely inspired by the work of John Evelyn, Conrado Almada and Hayao Miyazaki, it’s one of those illustrations, that as I draw, takes on a little life of its own. I can’t help but wonder who lives there, what the lighthouse is for, what kind of ships need warning of rocks in the sky…?
I think there’s definitely a story to be told here. By somebody.
Inspired by the lighthouse, I thought I’d add some more…


I saw your picture on Reddit and I absolutely loved it! It totally makes me want to tell some sort of story about a world of floating buildings. Did you have any specific story ideas?
you’re really talented. These pictures are amazing.
I LOVE these pictures! Thanks!
I just had a quick glance through your blog and your doodles are thought inspiring for the imaginary mind… This one struck me most, but I can’t put my finger on it why.
I met this (old) picture by chance on Pinterest (it even took some time and searching to find out who was the actual author…). I loved it so much that I decided to make a 3d version of it in Blender.
Thanks for the inspiration!
