Hello, my name is Hermit,
and I'm a doodle addict. UK

I call what I do "skav art" which is firmly rooted in its doodling origins. It's really a form of finished thumbnail sketching, drawn on anything below the size of A5 using just one single medium like a pen or a pencil. It does away with any further artistic processes, concentrating more on that initial raw idea.

I specialize in art, artist, biro, creative, drawing, pen and ink, pencil, skav art.

(2B pencil on a 87mm x 139mm postcard) Sometimes, how-to books were sold in old comic book adverts. These ranged from ventriloquism to hypnosis and promised amazing things when, in reality, they were just little booklets. With this artwork, I chose to depict one that would show you how to build something truly wonderful.

(2B pencil on a 139mm x 87mm postcard) A single comic book frame can sometimes tell a great story on its own, sometimes differing from the story in the actual comic book. An idea that I used with this frame that I drew.
