Please welcome the newest member of the Department of Miniature Marvels, Grand Rapids, MI-based artist and illustrator Taylor Mazer. Mazer uses extremely fine point Micron pens to render truly tiny black and white drawings of midwestern cityscapes in exquisite detail.
“Working with a fine Micron pen he constructs old buildings brick by brick and casts entire drawings in deep shadow, forcing the viewer to explore the piece up-close to discover every minute detail. The cityscapes are devoid of people, instead focusing on architectural details, light, and the unknown forces—weather or otherwise—that force people indoors, or away altogether.”
