James Mylne

James Mylne has been creating artworks using ballpoint pens for 15 years. He says Biros appeal to him due to the huge level of concentration required to complete each drawing, with works often taking hundreds of hours to complete. Mistakes cannot be rectified and any errors result in the work being destroyed and James having to start again. ‘Vintage Vogue’, an exhibition of his work, will be staged at Rook & Raven Gallery, London, until 30th October
