I also like to draw with ball-point pens (the fine black Bic ones). I’ve drawn lots of stuff over the years, but here are the only two drawings that are worth mentioning. Unfortunately, my camera doesn’t do these justice. The first drawing took over 100 hours to complete working in my spare time over the course of a year. The second was done in about 50 hours over a few weeks. They’re kinda like the thing you’d draw on your school notebook but taken to the extreme. People also say the look kind of like Hieronymus Bosch’s paintings.
I like it when people use very simple materials to create amazing things by just spending a lot of time on it. Like those guys that make music using 8-bit sound chips out of old Nintendos.

fucking brilliant. you already know i love these dave. when i have money and you have time, and i have a house, i will give you a wall.
Hey Dave, I think your website is broken. I went to the images page, and tried searching for “boobies” and it said there were no results.Does the internet have another purpose other than that?
Oh there’s boobies here, check out that chick on the bottom right there. BAM.
Thanks Erin! I really wanted to try making a lithograph, so I could make multiple copies of good quality prints without having to make a new drawing every time (to make the time spent making a drawing worthwhile). But I have no idea where I’d find the materials to do such a thing. Probably have to be enrolled at art school or something.
woah! awesome man! Amazing detail the camera showed it up ok too I reckon
It’s not bad, but if I had a macro lens it would be better. I know a guy who has such a thing. I might have to give him a call….
Brilliant! I’m your mum and in all these years did not realise your superior talent. I’m so proud of you.

Thanks ma!
Finally! I get to see your drawings again.
Very nice and tidy website! How did you manage to make it!?!? Lots of respect for ur hard work, dude.

I just used wordpress, the quick and dirty way to build a website.
I’m paying for my hosting though, so I can have tons of bandwith and storage, and not have to deal with shit advertising.
Im’ going to re-make drone again with all hand drawn sprites and call it drone part 2. It’s probably going to take forever to finish, but it will look mad when it’s done.
thanks for the support man
These are frickin’ awesome man. I understand the appeal of black biro and I used to doodle a lot in class, etc. I Never made anything as great as these.
I think schoolbook drawing is underrated. I’d like to see a compilation of all the best schoolbook drawing from all over the world. That would make an awesome exhibition. Most of it would be drawings of dicks, but still.
