Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm an Architectural Illustrator and 3D Artist from Edinburgh, Scotland. I work with historians and archaeologists to reconstruct our nation's built heritage assets using archaeological and measured survey data and by developing detailed 3D models. Website: bobmarshall.co.uk

Very predictable book choices from me: shells and Orkney, of course! To prove my credentials, here is a bonus picture of me enjoying a classic Orcadian summer on site at the Ness of Brodgar about 15 years ago (so essentially Prehistoric in its own right!) 🐚🏺
