Karl Larson: Scratchboard Portraits
Karl Larson (“larslarson08”) is an artist that I stumbled across on Flickr. He works in a variety of mediums but I’ve been especially taken by his scratchboard portraits.
It’s easy to lose oneself in these chiseled visages with their intricacies of light and shadow, and yet I find that it’s their inherent soulfulness that really lingers. Larson treats each subject with a tenderness and dignity that allows the essence of the person and their moment to shine through.
