Exquisite pencil drawings by J. B. Sullivan bring forth a chuckle, a smile, or nod of personal association with the subject.  Wildlife and animals of all kinds tell their story through his work.  Equally stunning, Sullivan’s portraits capture people at a special moment in time.

Graphite, Sullivan’s primary medium, requires mastering various pencil leads and devoting endless hours to detailed pencil strokes. With only two colors, black and white, tonal variety is created with different strokes, the occasional application of charcoal, and careful use of white space.

A man of many interests and talents, Sullivan spends hundreds of hours on each work to create his highly detailed, representative style of wide appeal.  See for yourself by viewing the online portfolio at Art Works.
