Cj Hendry - Pen on Paper

Cj Hendry is a absolutely incredible artist who is known for her high-end fashion drawings. Earlier last year I stumbled across a blog post done by Boooooooom.com.

Cj Hendry is an Australian artist who is known for her extremely realistic drawings. The drawings she produce are black and white pen drawings. She spends days or even weeks making meticulous scribbles (that become beautiful shaded pieces) on large high-quality sheets of white paper.  Her work ranges from old Smith & Wesson hand guns to Gucci products to vintage shoes to even a Louis Vuitton zebra. Cj Hendry produces incredible pieces that only get better and better with time.

She doesn't have a website, so follow her on Instagram to see the work she is producing @cj_Hendry

Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters

This afternoon I was just doodling around & thought I would put a Netflix movie on in the background. I typically browse the documentary sections, and Netflix suggested I watch Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters. Netflix describes it as an "offbeat portrait of portrait artist Gregory Crewdson captures his oddly elaborate creative process while sharing details of his fascinating past." 

 

This movie was so exceptional & captivating that I didn't even get around to drawing! Crewdson is a fascinating photographer who sets up these enormous detailed landscapes and scenes just for a single photograph. The movie shows the BTS portion of the studio shoots and the motives behind Crewdson. After watching this it reminded me that I really need to start working on story boards for my photobook story series. If you got an hour and half to kill watch this movie, It's incredible!
