I’m a ballpoint pen artist in San Diego and I started drawing about 4 years ago. I’ve made some decent drawings but decided I would put everything I have into this one to make it my best ever. 25 hours into my first attempt, I had to abort. It was..imperfect. I started over at a slower pace and an even higher standard. 145 hours later and here is the finished piece of one of my biggest heroes (and great friend), skateboarding legend Mr. Steve Caballero. Check out more of my drawings at www.paulkobriger.com
