Owen Gat­ley is a UK-based Illus­tra­tor who has a really great way of mak­ing his graphite draw­ings full of impact.

Owen’s port­fo­lio includes some color, but I am really inter­ested in his graphite draw­ings. There is a bit of nos­tal­gia for me; when I see pen­cil draw­ings with knights and beasts, I am reminded of draw­ing dur­ing my younger years. And, appar­ently, I am not far off from Owen — dur­ing an inter­view with The Work­ing Proof, Owen says that as a boy, he was obsessed with King Arthur and The Knights of the Round Table. His draw­ings come from a sim­i­lar place.

Have you heard of The Work­ing Proof? If not — it’s a great cause. Each print to be sold on the site pairs with a char­ity of the artist’s choice, donat­ing 15% of the sale to that cause. Owen cur­rently has The Slay­ing of the Beast for sale.
