A nostalgic look by Dave
Sutton at a wrought iron work company that used traditional methods
of manufacturing and that was highly successful in the 1960's
A
few samples of the drawings that I used to do in Pen and ink,
just a liitle different to the gif animations I make these days
The original Hyders Logo that was updated in
the 60's
Very ornate wrought iron gates
Well head - Can you imagine
the time taken to hand draw
such an illustration
This is a photo, we used to have hundreds of etched copper
plates mounted on wooden blocks with photos like this
Unlike modern day techniques and computer graphics
I used to have an old wooden drawing board with a wooden T square,
luxury would have been a parallel motion drawing board but I could
never persuade Dave Hyder to get me one. He used to say that my
drawings were very good and what difference would it make.
I certainly had a good grounding in perspective artwork and drawing
all sorts of curved work, something that has come in very handy
in later life
