Matthew Calandra hard-ground drawing

Matthew Calandra has been drawing up portraits for the last few months as part of a Cicada Press residency he was invited to be part of.  The resulting body of works include portraits of artists such as Ian Grant, Vernon Ah-Kee, Michael Kempson, Elisabeth Cummings and many more.  These prints will be shown at Gaffa Gallery in the next few months (more details to come).

Here is a little video that was shot from Matthew's perspective while he was drawing up a portrait of Rafael Butron.  The camera was mounted to Matt's head, so it's a bit shaky at times.


Matthew was joking around and finished the portrait of Rafael as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!



After having a laugh, he did another portrait which ended up looking like this:
