Pen and paper to some people is something so entirely different than it is to others, it is a gateway, especially when you are a portraiture genius like Raphael Sassi. Living in Brooklyn, NY drawing in his studio and teaching classes in anatomical drawing at the Pratt institue and currently, School of Visual Arts, he keeps a full schedule and continues to show his own, original work.

Unique portraiture, all done in pen and ink, acetone and lots of talent. Insight, thoughtfulness. The drawings are quite good, and consequently, Raphael Sassi is a dead ringer for Vince Vaughn. I'm not joking! He gets stopped all the time! Check him out!

Nice work!
