Selected Drawings - James Jarvis

These original drawings are the closest one gets to the original ideas. Whilst inevitably flawed, there is an honesty to them, a directness of thought and execution. Their lack of self-consciousness gives them a purity that a finished' thing a toy, an illustration may lack, by virtue of being that much further away in process from that initial, perfect idea.
