Artist Draws Stunning Cityscapes Entirely From Pens

Every story requires something larger than life and Benjamin Sack’s cityscapes gives the audience exactly that-  place and time, the cities themselves can be thought of as separate characters, with thousands of buildings, roads, churches, rivers and anything else a proper city would have. Even though the cities in Sack’s drawings are completely devoid of life, they breathe with their own internal hustle, bustle and power.

Sack, who has been drawing since he was two, has a passion not only for his art form, but also for history and architecture. He combines them all with great skill, impressive patience and vivid imagination, creating mostly fictional cities from all sorts of time periods. Using hundreds of black 0.05 Staedtler pigment liner pens (and nothing else), Sack draws building after building and road after road in scrupulous detail that leaves us in awe. His work can be viewed on facebook, Tumblr and on his personal website.
