Original Temple
The most consistent observation made about Augustine's works are that they are organic, that they have the quality and look of having been crafted by hand.
Precision hand-drawing is still valued in this age of precision computer graphics. While Augustine, or any artist, cannot match the work and precision of computer, it is worth noting that computers cannot match the beauty of human art done by hand.
Part of the appeal of Augustine's drawings are that they originate in his imagination and do not rely upon microprocessors. We also note the exquisite neural pathways that hand artists acquire from childhood on as they pursue their love of drawing.
Augustine spent his free time as a child drawing mostly pictures of boats, ships, airplanes, cars, and machines. As a teenager he built a lot of airplane, car, and ship models. The details of WWII aircraft especially interest him.
Augustine's father was an Air Force specialist who, during his service stateside in the Korean era, worked on WWII fighters that were being transferred to ANG units. Augustine's father, a precision machinist for a manufacturer of nuclear missile guidance systems used on US Navy "boomers", taught his son to appreciate hand-craftsmanship, the beauty of aircraft, and of detail. This love of detail is reflected in Augustine's drawings. Augustine's love of architecture is innate and speaks to his Masonic bloodline.
