ABOUT 

Korey Martin (b. 1989) is a pencil-on-paper artist of the "Broom School"and for him, drawing is a chore.

As a chore, drawing is his way to "clean the mirror" of the mind and spirit, while also maintaining curiosity for all that vitalizes the senses.

His depiction of familiar things as dissonant variations seeks to maintain the inherit and endless potential of all things as indeterminate and interdependent--at all times forming and reforming harmonies both new and older than time. As yet another arrangement of life's material, Korey hopes for his drawings to feel as if emerging, somehow still yet carrying great momentum as a thing "in the midst of things".

Likewise, his pen & paper illustrations are often described as "incomplete" or "still coming together". These have appeared in magazines, anthologies and college journals, on clothing, used by restaurants and hospitality services, branding for small businesses, a perfumery laboratory and even an elementary school library.
