Adriano Fettucini – portraits in ballpoint
Ballpoint portraits of Adriano Fettucini, a unicycling, juggling burlesque act who has performed throughout the UK and Europe. Adrian constructs his act/himself as the ‘City Gent’ which he signifies using cigar boxes, bowler hats and a three piece suit. These portraits show his stillness rather than his on-stage performance when he is forever moving.
