“Animals represent something in each individual person. Some are courageous like the powerful lion and some are shy like the turtle. Each animal is unique with its pattern, from reptile scales to a kitten’s soft fur. Each one of us has the spirit of an animal inside us that we are drawn to, such as something powerful like a grizzly bear.
Drawing makes me feel escaped from all the troubles from the real world and I like that my work makes other people feel happy.”
James Roll is a prolific artist and a master of gestural drawing, primarily working in pen and ink. His interests range from cuddly critters to terrifying monsters, and he enjoys drawing them all. James has recently captured a wide range of animals in a new alphabet series.
