This hand drawn flower by UK-based artist, illustrator, and surface pattern designer Paul Alexander Thornton pops off the page with miraculous detail. The artist says he has "a love affair with ballpoint pens and felt-tips." Ever since he was a child, Thornton has been drawing and so, from an early age, he always knew that he would grow up to be an artist. http://www.behance.net/PaulAlexThornton

The central allegory of Mortality and Time - skull - may never loose its trend in art. Skull is a main subject of Tom French's figurative drawings. In his works he carefully combines detailed photorealism with strong elements of abstraction and surrealism, focusing on the reflection of the conscious and subconscious mind. His work seamlessly merges the use of academic tradition with contemporary urban realism.
RIP 1982 - 2019 :(

Feline Zegers is an artist with a love for illustration and photography. "My work plays with the combination of good and evil, beauty and degeneration. I’m often dealing with relationships between people and their environments. My work offers alternate views of reality. The value of storytelling and it’s ability to connect us to each other through our cultural, humanistic and emotional similarities is very present in my work. The figures displayed take on different roles, although the role itself is sometimes vague, flickering between seducer and victim, preacher and sinner, woman and child. Riddles which may, or may not, have a solution."

As all of you may (or may not) know this is a drawing done by hand without the use of guiding or measuring instruments." Materials: canvases, black mat acrylic, brushes (01, 2, 8).
