Drawing by Joe Fenton Created in 10 Months

Imagine taking your 0.5 mechanical pencil and drawing on a large piece of white paper for 10 hours a day, seven days a week, over a course of 10 full months. Think you’d give up after a few hours or maybe even a few days? Well, it’s safe to say that most people would. Then again, most people aren’t like Joe Fenton…
Aptly titled Solitude, the personal project stands an astounding 5 ft high and 8 ft across. Fenton worked out all of the elements on a small scale first, then pieced his images together “like a jigsaw puzzle” by tracking his line drawings onto the final white paper. After working with graphite, he finished it all off with acrylic and ink.
