Mark Powell

This is an artist I have only just discovered. Mark Powell collects old, vintage envelopes and uses them as a surface to draw on. What attracted me was the quality of his portraits as I have a passion for drawing people.What's even more amazing is that he only uses a biro pen to create them. I think his work is fantastic and the fact that he uses envelopes to draw them on gives it a completely new style. It keeps the work different and interesting whilst being skillful and detailed. Looking at his work inspires me to draw a face.
