The idea of making a second version of the colosseum evolved into this image. Inspired by archaeology as well as the cyclopian structures of Lovecraft and Borges' library, I imagined an excavated city that blends architecture from Spain, Baltimore and SketchUp. The title comes from the podcast with the sam name.

Baltimore Colosseum (2017-2019)

The idea of tourist locations stayed in my head so I began to think about creating some lovecraftian/cyclopian structures around my home of Baltimore. Simultaneously, I am becoming more influenced by work of Renato Nicolodi. All of that and playing with SketchUp led to this drawing. Along the way I become interested in the topic of archaeology which has influenced continuing work.
