CBA Jeffs/Intricate Ink

Using black ink pens and colored pencils, American artist and illustrator Tim Jeffs is creating a veritable ink zoo of intricately drawn animals. Ever intrigued by their diversity and complexity, Jeffs strives to capture his subjectsâ€™ essence in his portraits. He begins each drawing with extensive research into a given animalâ€™s conservation status, habitats, habits, and physical appearance. He then closely studies its skin or fur but lets artistic license dictate the patterns, textures, and colors he applies. He enjoys â€œhaving the control of making it my own creation, and not just another photograph.â€ Jeffs does, however, pay photorealistic attention to drawing each creatureâ€™s eyes, which â€œgive it a personality, express emotion and let the animal tell its own story as it looks back at the viewer.â€

The artistâ€™s story began in Maryland in 1965. Born the seventh of eight children, and from a young age fascinated by drawing, Jeffs was a national awardâ€“winning artist while still in high school. A scholarship to Parsons School of Design in New York set the stage for a twenty-five-year career designing books, logos, and websites for Scientific American, Sunset Publishing, Time Life Books and others. Jeffs began sketching animals for personal pleasure; his finely detailed drawings have gone on to garner worldwide attention.
