Client: The Other Art Fair
Year: 2022 For me, it was in December of 2021. I set myself a simple challenge, to draw every person that existed. EVER! Easy right? Well, to make the process a bit more streamlined, all the portraits were drawn from the same base template. The features of the person would be sketched of the top of the base, refined and then digitised for the final image. |

Sadly, I'm currently short of the estimated 117,000,000,000 people to have existed on the planet with 242 completed to date. At this rate I aim to have the project 100% completed long after time and the universe as a whole has ended.
I have created a dedicated instagram page @everypersoneverart to house the collection so far. |

In 2022, I partnered with The Other Art Fair where guests had the opportunity to get themselves checked off the list and their portrait drawn in attempt to complete this noble, if not futile, objective.
The fair was across 4 days and I managed to draw roughly 300 guests (some of which waited upwards of 2 hours for a portrait). From this I was contacted by guests who missed out to create custom portraits as well as offers for live portraits during private parties. |
