I’m a little obsessed with these pipes I see outside buildings. I think they’re for water, or perhaps gas, or perhaps both. I’m not a plumber, nor a gas-man. They could be filled with Dr.Pepper for all I know. I like how they look, so I sat in the shade outside Ace Houseware and drew them.
It reminds me a little bit of the game ‘Mouse-Trap’. There’s probably a little cage and a tiny man diving into a bathtub right above this. I wonder if the people that put these together chuckled to themselves with the same thought.

I know what you mind by the game “mouse trap”, I loved it.
these pipes could be a great exibition thematic!
I want to draw a mouse-trap game now, that would be fun! right, that’s on my son’s christmas list…
Maybe it’s the complexity of the pipes that makes it interesting. Nice work! :)
cheers! i love these things.
(but for me what makes it interesting are the little voices i can hear inside them saying “help i’m covered in dr.pepper!”)
Great pipes! There is something very cool about sketching them for sure.

cheers dave!
Yes! Every time I see pipes like these I NEED to draw them. Same with backhoes on construction sites.
oh i know. i’d love to draw an entire factory but that’s just a pipe dream…

Oh, I so love these! I look at them wistfully all the time! Somehow I haven’t found the time for them yet. Must fix that soon. Yours are wonderful! You got the intricacy and complexity so well!
thanks! i love the design of them, plus they are kind of funny.
I love the idea that Dr. Pepper is running through those pipes.
