In black and white

After a serious illness and being somewhat restricted in my movements during the past few months, I became inspired to try working in black and white, using mainly pencils and pens with felt tips of varying thicknesses. Having always been interested in pattern and shape, I began by producing designs of overlapping circles, triangles or rectangles. I then remembered on a recent holiday seeing artwork by the Tlingit people in Vancouver, and I began to produce other black and white designs inspired by what I had seen.

The next step was to try city skylines, of which there are many examples on the internet. The buildings of Paris, London and New York provided many useful subjects. I moved onto silhouettes of people walking, running and dancing, with shadows in a lighter shade of pencil.
