It’s our favorite day, gente! Alec Fanart Sunday!
This wonderful God’s Own Country work was created by Denna Mayo, a tattoo artist out of Málaga, Spain and was a commissioned work.
This looks to be graphite on paper and the artist’s other work has the same wonderful atmospheric quality. While all her work has, its core, representational aspects, she gives it a deeper, textural energy, as she’s done here with Johnny and Gheorghe’s portraits.
The light touch she uses invites the viewer to complete the image behind their eyes while the drawing retains its editorial qualities. There’s no mistaking who this is; you know instantly by Johnny’s ears and Gheorghe’s hair and beard. Such a complete and whole work using the slightest brush of pencil, the briefest line. Amazing skill.
Thank you for reading, everyone! Stay safe and I hope to see you all tomorrow!
