A portrait of the artist...
I'm Holly and I like to draw stuff...Hello.
It's hard to explain how and why and what it is that I really do...I usually describe drawing as an itch I can't scratch, I do it because I have to; I adore and endure it in equal measure. I tend to refer to my art as simply drawing or illustration...it just feels more descriptive and I'm more comfortable saying it.
I have a vivid imagination and I'm inspired by things that are tiny, things that have died, things that crawl, fly or come out at night, astronomy and the night sky (mainly the Moon but not in a new age, hippy way)...and other stuff, sometimes.
My weapon of choice is the humble ballpoint pen but I also use proper posh arty pens from time to time too. The contrast between light and dark is a fascination of mine and ballpoint captures the intensity in the right way, yet has a warmth about it too. And I just hate sharpening pencils, if evolution had intended us to sharpen pencils, Mr Bic would never have invented the biro.
When I'm not drawing you'll find me (pretending to be) on the Moon.
Over and out.
