Ranch Textures

Some ranch and adobe elements… for reference, for interest, for aesthetics, for storytelling… and the things that caught my eye.

The next few images are from beyond the ranch. These are reference images that I have been considering… stuff I collect before I believe I’ll ever need it, because I like it and I think I’ll like it in the future. The last image is of Steve Ignorant, one of the singers in the band Crass circa late 1970s, 80s. Leading with the destruction at Restaurant Row around February 2025. The underpass at Carlsbad Village and Interstate 5 is providing some of those trapezoidal keyholes that I’ve been fond of for a long time. The mass of freeway concrete is captured in a few shadow studies. And a fetching storefront in San Marcos, CA.
