For London-based artist James Cook, drawing portraits used to be a struggle. But that all changed when he discovered his now-signature tool: the typewriter.
From his office in London, Cook creates incredible drawings using his collection of more than 40 typewriters, many of which were donated to him by fans of his work.
His artworks range from images of buildings and landscapes to portraits of animals and celebrities, such as Tom Hanks.
He uses a random assortment of letters, numbers and punctuation marks to form his masterpieces.
From small commissions to drawings made of more than 500,000 characters, James has produced close to 300 pieces of work on his growing collection of more than 60 typewriters.
James describes his artwork as "a picture worth a thousand words" and has produced artwork for celebrities, public figures and musicians.
In just over a decade, James has produced more than 350 typewritten drawings.
To produce his stunning artwork, James has acquired more than 100 typewriters which have mostly been generously donated by fans of his work.
Using the typewriters, he has produced artwork for celebrities, television presenters, musicians and famous businesses.
The scale of James Cook’s work ranges from the size of a postcard and the antithesis of this being rolls-upon-rolls of paper.
Larger drawings are constructed in section and hot-pressed together thereby allowing for creations larger than the limitations of a typewriter’s traditional paper-feed.
Concealed in most drawings are hidden type-written messages or words inspired by the backstory of a particular project that the artist is working on.
