Philip Dennis – Felt Tip Sketching

By Patternbank On October 19, 2012 · In Inspiration

Patternbank love the sketchy quality in the work of graphic artist Philip Dennis. Trained in illustration at University of Brighton, Dennis spent time in Japan before returning to the U.K. to focus on his illustration. His style is heavily influenced by comic books and the hatching techniques used by artist John Romita Jr. who fired his interest in illustration as a child. Dennis creates his pieces by scanning, layering and collaging his hand drawn images and experimental mark making on the computer, and finally colours them digitally to produce the final artwork.

Clint Fulkerson – Hand Drawn Geometric Abstraction

By Patternbank On October 8, 2012 · In Inspiration

Clint Fulkerson’s artwork features complex patterns and forms made by an accumulation of hand drawn marks. Each new mark is applied in response to the previous one and so on. For each piece he sets up a starting condition and devises a set of rules, which are much like algorithms, that limit what and how forms develop.
