San Antonio architect's career took him around the globe, where he found striking similarities between Texas buildings and other famous landmarks.
Back when he was a boy, Roy Pachecano ’s mother would give him pencils and paper to draw with in order to keep him quiet in church.

It was hot in Italy, so I had more time to lay in the perspective.
