Ran into this dude as I was walking out of my office the other day. We wear tweed all June, July and August here in SF! We struck up a conversation after after asking if we could take each others picture. I went home and checked his site, He has been shooting similar characters for the last 20+ years.
I especially love these twins
She’s killing it no doubt. Hopefully she is wearing her man’s or old mans clothes though. I sorta hate when the jeans are broken in (by someone other than the wearer) so fiercely. Perhaps she made those whiskers happen, I will give her the benefit of the doubt and say she broke them in. I hear its hard to find jeans for the gals… So hats off to her for this look!
Dudes lampin’ in his Harris Tweed blazer, John Deere braces and birkenstock sandals. If you could believe – he is actually from the U.K. (I’d say he’s spent too much time in our country). But I did love the way he was just sitting outside this cafe in Sausalito dressed like this on a Sunday. He probably owns land in the Marin Headlands or something.
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.
Not sure this fellas from my site, but he is special! Kurt is just awesome.
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.

These were a pair of standard issued Dockers K1 khaki trousers before Michael got at them. I met up with my friend for lunch yesterday and he had his pre pebble beach us open look working. Its San Francisco so a corduroy blazer is completely acceptable I might add. He is also the most adventurous straight guy I know when it comes to dressing. He is the coolest dad I know. His wife and kids are pretty rad as well!
