I am a self-taught artist, specializing in ballpoint pen art and graphics. I create some of the most technically complex artworks in the area of Cityscapes investing between 200 and 300 hours of work. My drawings feature as many as 10 to 20 layers of ink, masterfully applied to produce the desired depth, contrast, and perspective in monochrome ink.
In my graphics I highlight the beauty of ordinary moments that surround us. I want to remind everyone that sometimes we just need to pause and look around.

The first drawing is taken by photographer Danny Santos, and he also captured a photo of me for his 100 strangers project

Send Andrey Poletaev a photo and maybe he'll do a ballpoint picture of you. :)

Great work, but why with ball point pen? Isn't that a handicap? Couldn't you do even more with, say with one of those old ink pens?

I'm sure there are artists using old ink pens. If I remember from my time in school, real ink pens have different nib sizes.
