Lighthouse

A picture of Smeaton's Tower, Plymouth.

There is no meaning behind this image, just a nice sketch that I was playing around with on photoshop, using the same colouring technique as I have for most of the other illustrations in this blog. I hope very soon to get some screen-printing paraphernalia, which is why my illustrations are constructed as they are.

This lighthouse used to be 14 miles offshore from Plymouth, but had to be moved as the rock is was on was corroding. The design of this building which we recognise as classic lighthouse shape, was actually an original design by Smeaton and was based on a Oak tree.

You can climb to the top, but there isn't much room inside.
