It was January 2000 at a local antiques fair at Potter Bar, Hertfordshire that my husband and I purchased our first Bennett print. We bought it because my husband said he liked it (a very good reason to buy art or antiques). We arrived home and I had a really good look at the print, it was dated and signed F. M. Bennett. Not knowing the artist I decided to look him up. From the print I could tell that he was a Victorian genre artist, but what really attracted me was the quality of the artwork, it was so beautifully painted and he had a well focused eye for detail. Before I had chance to gather any more information we had purchased second print and so our passion for Frank Moss Bennett had started. I hope that as you read my book you will also discover more about this great artist and learn of his life and the times he lived in. Frank Moss Bennett's original paintings are now fetching considerable amounts of money at the auctions and are becoming very collectable.

Drawing Futures brings together international designers and artists for speculations in contemporary drawing for art and architecture.Despite numerous developments in technological manufacture and computational design that provide new grounds for designers, the act of drawing still plays a central role as a vehicle for speculation. There is a rich and long history of drawing tied to innovations in technology as well as to revolutions in our philosophical understanding of the world. In reflection of a society now underpinned by computational networks and interfaces allowing hitherto unprecedented views of the world, the changing status of the drawing and its representation as a political act demands a platform for reflection and innovation. Drawing Futures will present a compendium of projects, writings and interviews that critically reassess the act of drawing and where its future may lie.Drawing Futures focuses on the discussion of how the field of drawing may expand synchronously alongside technological and computational developments. The book coincides with an international conference of the same name, taking place at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, in November 2016. Bringing together practitioners from many creative fields, the book discusses how drawing is changing in relation to new technologies for the production and dissemination of ideas.
