Blake Gore Miniature Art

• Artist

  • 2018 - Present

  Combining endless curiosity with an eye for detail, I create miniature art using a .15mm pen nib. Often drawing inside only an inch or two, I’m inspired by the challenge of creating more with less. Crafted with non-toxic materials and minimalist canvases, my miniature art demonstrates how constraints can enhance creativity while encouraging sustainability. My miniatures have been shown from Mississippi to Manhattan and can be found in private collections around the globe. Most recently, these tiny works have received awards at the 2021 Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art’s Boardwalk Art Show and the 2021 Neptune Art Festival in Virginia Beach. Credits and collaborations include Jo-Ann Stores, BLICK Art Materials, Sakura of America, Canson, Strathmore/Dixon Ticonderoga, Legion Paper, General Pencil, Stabilo, and The House of Illustration (United Kingdom).
