Handmade cityscape and architectural drawings
High quality prints and bespoke commissions.
Drawn with intention
I’ve been creating detailed architectural drawings and cityscapes for over five years, driven by a commitment to craftsmanship and precision. My goal is to share my work with those who appreciate the patience, dedication, and attention to detail behind every piece. Many of my drawings require hundreds, and sometimes even thousands, of hours to complete. While the process is incredibly time-intensive, seeing people connect with my large-scale pen works makes every hour worthwhile.
Why buildings and cities?
My name is Trenton Johnson, and I'd like to share a brief overview of my journey into architecture and cityscape art. The artistic side of my story is relatively straightforward. From a young age, I was always drawing—receiving pencils, sketchbooks, and classic art kits as birthday and Christmas gifts. I eagerly filled these with the whimsical doodles of an eight-year-old, and drawing remained a constant passion throughout my early years.
At 15, I became captivated by photography, believing it would be my lifelong passion. I spent countless hours shooting, often focusing on the buildings that framed my viewfinder—particularly old, abandoned farmhouses and weathered brick structures. Their intricate details fascinated me.
I pursued a college education in photography, but due to a late start and staff shortages, I found myself needing to fill a gap year. I enrolled in an introductory drawing class and a figure drawing course at the community college. To my surprise, I fell deeply in love with drawing, more than I had initially admitted. My professor, noticing potential in me that I hadn't yet recognized, encouraged me to take the classes seriously. Her support helped me realize a new passion and excel in it
