I am Marco from a small country town in regional Victoria, Australia.
Drawing with a ballpoint has always been my favorite medium and long since I can remember that’s all I’ve really used. All these drawings have been illustrated freehand, without drafting in pencil. The idea of drawing without guides is liberating, allowing me transform any part of the drawing into anything I want.
I’ve always had the love of drawing, particularly of things that swirl around my imagination. I find fun and engaging exercise to challenge your creativity.
In this series of works I’ve been experimenting with machining the forms of organic figures by stripping them down of their natural figure and redesigning them through the combination of smaller mechanical parts.
