Justine Ashbee
Justine Ashbee (RISD alum..Whoohoo!!) creates these captivating organic like hand drawings using a Sharpie Pen! I’d love to see a video of her creating these amazing creations but I’ll have to wait. More pics after the jump, otherwise, for the larger images, go to her site here.

Wow, the drawings are amazing - thanks for sharing. I’m surprised that her artwork hasn’t landed on Sharpie’s website.

yeah, thees do rock…i’m not sure if she’d want them on Sharpies website, but perhaps a bunch of galleries, which I’ll assume is in the pipeline. Also reminds me of the “tape” artists.
http://www.tapeart.com ya have to dig in for the good ones, but they are RISD locals as well!!

That’s hilarious!

I forgot to mention our womens teams…
Womens soccer: the Jugs, and they had another names which I should not type.
Otherwise, if you think the mascot and names were great, check out the logos! https://www.risd.com/risd_store/team.cfm (a very two sphered inspiration)
even the dean made a poster holding two basketballs at lower hip level if you can picture it!

I actually had a good friend in high school who did really similar work, also with a Sharpie… and I was always envious.

These remind me of an aerial view of rice paddies along the dragon’s backbone, or indeed any hill.
