Michael Port: Inspired Art

Sun Nov 8, 2009, 10:33 PM
I haven't been around deviantART (as usual!) but this time it's because in the past few months I've been abroad, been working, been moving apartments (twice!), and been raising a new parrot. I am still finding a little time for art, though. But before I get the chance to upload it, I want to direct you to a new artist in town, ~Michael-Port.

He's a participant at the senior center where I work, and I've been helping him photograph his art and putting it on the Internet. All of his pieces are rather large and done only with the pencils, ballpoint pens, and sharpies we have at the center. He references classical icon style, but draws just from memory. It takes him about a month to finish each piece, as he is only able to work on it for a few hours a day, every few days. His only art training is a lettering course he took in high school over fifty years ago.

A camera lens is like a pair of glasses. Except the fact, that it allows you to broaden and focus your perspective.
:iconashtalonskyfire:
You're a genius. I loved reading the thoughtful messages in your works- keep it up!
:icondrazard:
I must say, I find your work absolutely incredible.

It's a rare treat to come across work as beautiful and wonderfully thought provoking as yours.

All the best.

I must say your artwork and comments are like nothing I have really seen before here on DA. I read them and can relate to many of them and well it makes me think and wonder. The picture also acts as a nice way to keep my attention toward it, was staring at one of them for about 15 or so minutes. Keep up the excellent work!

Your pictures are so teaching and full of moral.

I love your art and, even a bit more, the messanges it contains. Unfortunatly I don't understand every comic perfectly (since I'm not an English native speaker), those I do are marvellous and are really touching in their different ways.
Anyway, hopefully we'll see more of you soon, I'll give you a watch~
