Kurt Hollomon is One Cool Cat

Kurt hit me up a while back and we have been exchanging emails and pleasantries ever since. He very humbly wrote telling me he enjoys drawing the characters on my site. I figured someone who enjoys my subjects and their kits as mush as I do must be cool. Then the mail arrived

Dont be nosy, no reason to read the letter, point is look at that chuck taylor (belonging to his girlfriend Ann who’s pretty fucking rad herself!)
The sketches are exactly what I wish I could doodle!
On his most recent drawing trip to New York (he brings his students along!) to meet with some illustrators and artists/designers I had the honor of finally meeting Kurt. In the short time we had together I flipped through 3 of the heavy books he had carried along and snapped just a few of his amazing sketches.

I searched the world wide web and found some accurate words on Kurt: Habitual sketchbook practitioner—Kurt Hollomon’s work employs the direct observational drawing style that gives his illustrations a sense of reality tempered with a quirky, spirited line. Former Mt. Rainier climbing guide, Kurt has been art director, designer and now illustrator as well as teacher of drawing and illustration at Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon. A modern day Magellan with a Micron or possibly Lewis or Clark in a Land Rover; bouncing towards the southern tip of Patagonia with a cheese sandwich and bottle of water tossed into a shoulder bag filled with drawing supplies… few artists have been able to capture the beauty, history, and happiness of the outdoor lifestyle as Kurt has.

Had to hang out and peer through that yellow flowered tree waiting for the right shot of this kid. Love his mix of patterns on that vest and shirt. It looks like an old Eddie Bauer shirt. That brand is due for a comeback! It reminds me of the old Banana Republic shirts… I also love the paint on his shoe. Does he write, paint or just ‘deliver’?
