London base artist Mark Powell loves his Biro pen (Ballpoint pen), most often the only thing he uses to create his images. Discarded maps, used envelopes and postcards act as canvases for the amazing portraits of elderly people. Nicely incorporating the lines, wrinkles and post stamps of the recycled material into his work. some of his recycled materials are over 200 year old maps, deeds, newspapers...
Mark Powell; 'If you make a mistake you destroy two things: the drawing and the document. I like that pressure to get it right.'
