bill draws everything

I’m William Martin, an artist and technologist based in northwest New Jersey. My work moves between plein air painting and reportage illustration — sometimes quiet observation, sometimes drawing life as it unfolds. I studied illustration at Pratt Institute and continued with the David J. Passalacqua School of Drawing and Illustration and the Dalvero Academy. What you’ll find here are the works and thoughts that come out of that mix of practice and curiosity.
