This drawing is part of an ongoing series of portraits I am working on to draw every person in the world.It is a conceptual art project but also a literal one.I have started with those closest to me, and work myself outward sitting in public spaces and traveling the world drawing people.The project is also ephemeral at times because these drawings are often given to the subjects and not photographed.I am finding the style of blind contour drawing to be the most simple yet revealing way to capture a persons essence.Through it, my logical mind is quelled and what is there in reality has a better chance of being seen and expressed.It is intimate, it is democratizing, and it touches people.
