Video: Prayer rug with ballpoint pen

When Muslims pray, they put special prayer rugs under their knees, woven according to certain canons. Woven but never painted. However, the French artist Jonathan Bréchignac considers all this to be a convention, and draws a prayer rug with help ballpoint pens BIC.
The work of Jonathan Bresignac would surely be very much appreciated by members of the We Make Carpets art community, which creates carpets from seemingly inappropriate materials: balloons, bricks, coffee cups, pasta, dried cones, etc. The fact is that Bresignac also makes a very unusual carpet. Rather, he draws it.
Moreover, he draws not with paints, crayons and other multi-colored materials for fine art, but with black BIC ballpoint pens, on a simple sheet of A1 size white paper.
He started this process fifteen months ago. And since then, he has been trying to devote at least an hour of time every day to creating this unusual prayer rug. Centimeter by centimeter, overcoming himself, he draws this image. Moreover, it cannot be said that during these almost one and a half years, Jonathan Bresignac has already drawn at least half of the future carpet.
He himself says that he does not know when he will finish the work, and recalls the greatest Persian carpet makers, who spent decades creating their masterpieces. In general, Breshignac has someone to look up to.
In fifteen months of work on this hand-drawn carpet, Jonathan Bresignac completed one BIC pen completely and almost finished the second. Cheap but great! A striking contrast to Damien Hirst, who uses materials worth tens of millions of dollars in his work (remember his precious child's skull).
Of course, after finishing work on her prayer rug, Jonathan Bresignac is not going to give it to some zealous Muslim for its intended use. He thinks to put it under glass and show it to the visitors of his studio. And then Bresignac will start creating another similar carpet, maybe only in large sizes.

Ballpoint pen drawings by Anna Emilia Laitinen
Drawings drawn with a simple ballpoint pen, for me personally, quite often evoked associations with school sketches on the last sheet of a notebook, where many students killed the passing time during a boring lesson. But the Finnish artist Anna Emilia Laitinen has just the opposite, she began her career with illustrations with ink, simple and colored pencils, and only recently began to try to draw with a ballpoint pen
Works by Shane McAdams, or a duet between an artist and a ballpoint pen
The tandem of a creative person and an ordinary ballpoint pen can be very unpredictable. Who knows what a writer will write armed with this tool? What melody will the composer create? Whether the designer - whether interior, clothing or household items - will come up with a project? Brooklyn artist Shane McAdams also could not predict what his collaboration with this simple instrument would result in. But as a result, you and I see these amazing abstract drawings created by
