Humans, being.
About Me
- Thomas Hendry
- Toronto, ON, Canada
- I'm a Toronto- based artist. My focus is on the human form, primarily through drawing. I'm mostly posting work on Tumblr now(link below.) This blog remains a process-intensive diary of over 10,000 studies spanning more than 7 years. (More finished work of mine can be found as well on my Flickr account - there's a link for that below as well)
