P O S T S C R I P T A R T S T U D I O S

I've spent the majority of my journey as an artist working digitally as an art director and graphic designer and illustrator but never lost the passion for how it all started...drawing. Having your hand in the work is how any creative endeavor is imbued with it's own soul. The craftsmanship involved in creating a drawing with your hands has always held my imagination and respect for those that can do it well. My drawings in pen and ink and pencils focus on whatever interests me but on the whole my drawings are inspired by the people, places and things that surround our every day lives. In my case, the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia . Most are detailed stipple drawings in pen and ink and involve applying individual dots of ink with a very fine point drawing pen. The dots are used then to create the values and areas of shading in the drawing. The technique requires many hours of drawing time but the end result for me is worth the effort. This technique creates a unique texture and allows for capturing subtle details, textures, and contrasts that can't be achieved in the same way as traditional hatching techniques. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and check out my work. I hope it feels familiar and triggers fond memories from a simpler time.
