Painting with a typewriter

Keira Rathbone, 25 years old, from Poole, Dorset is a graduate faculty of arts from the University of West of England in BristolLike other painters, Keira makes his art with pencil and paint. But that made Keira a bit different from the others is because he, too, can create spectacular works by using a typewriter.
Indeed Keira originally bought the Silver Reed typewriter made in the 60's 100 for five Poundsterlling in a charity shop to make the essay, but after six months, Keira's new found talent."Pictures of the first is a simple subject but I'm very slow and very regular drawing / basic and (character) are spread. After all, I keep practicing and added more quickly - now I can draw things common."

To make a painting, Keira could spend around 90 hours using only his right index finger to type the various characters who are generally in the form of punctuation (commas, line / liaison, slashes, parentheses, quotation marks), numbers and letters on a sheet of paper repeatedly times even a thousand times. But Keira prefers to use quotation marks and dashes to make buildings and view and parentheses for facial image. The other hand being used to move the paper that there was machined type.

In making a picture, Keira definitely needed a break if already typing / drawing more than one hour. "Not a problem typing with your fingers but the pain in the arm for moving the paper," says Keira.As for the works ever made Keira is the face images, buildings, forests, plant motifs. The facial images as faces Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman, and Kate Moss. As for buildings, Keira never make Bournemouth Pier which is very spectacular because Keira made in detail and reportedly sold 500 Poundsterlling (approximately USD 7.9868 million).

  "Some of my drawing is a celebrity, but they must have an attractive face that made me want to draw it," said Keira. "I never make a sketch with a pencil before you start - all of that experience." Preview face, for example, I start with an eye and shape before making the other eye, then the next say, the mouth, "said Keira. Recently Keira held performances / exhibitions at Grove Studios, Southbourne, Bournemouth, for his work was amazing.
