The English Group has always kept a scrapbook of resources that we find inspiring. We now include this within our website in the form of a blog and, from now on, will add to it on an ongoing
basis. The directory showcases graphic design, art, books, magazines, film and music, photography, portraits, fashion, architecture, interiors, hotels and travel, products & toys - alongside The English
Group's own categories, ‘Travelling’ and 'Our Work' (‘Our Print’ and ‘Our Websites’), which illustrate the team's own travels and a full chronological listing of the agency's creative work.

Portraits by Anatol Knotek

Anatol Knotek is a self-titled ‘visual poet’, who focuses on conceptual art and typography. Here is a selection of his portraits which are drawn using the written word. He uses permanent marker on canvas to ‘write’  the artwork, making the text denser in areas requiring darker shades and adopting a larger, sparse script elsewhere. It can take him up to two weeks to complete each picture.

 

Via Visual Poetry.
