Peter ter Mors
dreams about drawings, mostly drawn by hand. In the daytime he works as an artist,
eager to share his dreams with you.
I have been in love with penguins all of my life. The wiggely-waggely kind of nerdiness feels familiair to me.
They are also perfect to draw. Lines and curves that dance around the pages. In years time my drawings have developed into bird-like creatures. Often as a metaphor for human relations and the complexity of family affairs.
Since 1984 I have worked as a Graphic designer, Illustrator and Art director. Meanwhile making art in my spare time. In 2020 I rediscovered the pleasure of drawing with graphite and pencil on paper instead of working on a computer.
Following a line and just go along!
