Drawings on Antique Maps by Mark Powell


Powell finds inspiration from artists such as Jean Michel Basquiat, David Hockney, Samuel Bassett, Anthony Micallef, Richard Hamilton, etc. Most of the time, he draws elderly people on antique documents stating that it's a natural pairing as "both have an untold history upon the face of it." In an increasingly digital age, Powell wants to save as much as he can in the way of maps, envelopes, postcards, etc and give them new life.
