Jacob Everett is a London-based artist and illustrator who has given a new meaning to the proverb - 'Pen is mightier than sword'. Not that he writes great words but give him a pen and he would create for you a portrait.

Everett creates photo-realistic portraits by overlapping elliptical patterns, using nothing but a ball point pen.

According to him, "I produce large-scale portraits using an intricate technique of overlapping elliptical marks, which gradually build to represent the subtle contours of the face."

Everett accentuates every little feature of the face by drawing loops. He concentrates on every part of the face, one section at a time and spends several weeks on a single piece. He has drawn  portraits of celebrities and homeless people from the streets of Bradford.
