Recursive Alan Moore by Greg Ruth

Art by GREG RUTH.
Above a stunning, hairy portrait of Alan Moore by extraordinary artist GREG RUTH, created for his Recursive project.
He says: "Recursive is an experiment in single line contour drawing using my old frenemy, the ballpoint pen. This project is simply put, a real-time exploration of a new technique using this old tool through my usual passion for portraits. Some pieces are intentional, others are found through the act of drawing. [...]"

And specifically about Moore, Ruth writes: "The White Wizard of comics storytelling and his magnificent attack eyebrows made this an easy subject and an essential one as well. Alan Moore is largely responsible for my becoming entranced by the medium and storytelling power of comics and is largely to blame for why I keep trying at it to this day. This one's for you, buddy."
