I only use black ballpoint pen (biro). Each drawing can take between 50 – 100 hours of intense focus (I can’t just rub this out!)

I like to focus on portraiture – capturing emotion is the aim. You may notice I am a big fan of the old movie icons. I hope you guys like them.

    Johann studied Art History in Brighton but left prior to completion to focus his energies on his own art. He is a self-taught Greenwich born and bred Biro Artist.
