Artist and illustrator Stuart Whitton's first solo exhibition, Origin, opens at the Exposure Gallery in London tomorrow evening. Whitton will be exhibiting a series of his exquisitely drawn portraits alongside typographic pieces.

Working largely in pencil, Whitton has produced work for a range of commercial clients, including CR. His show will feature both old and new work, as well as collaborations with others. Shown here are a selection of drawings that you can expect to see.

Stunning illustrations and nice typography project. I wish I had time to get down to London to see it all in the flesh.

Its a shame that posts like this never get quite the same attention as posts relating to advertising/branding projects. Really beautiful drawings that will undoubtably fall by the way side as a boring new branding project, completed by a corporate design giant will suck up all the attention. Great work Stuart! I'll try my best to swing by the show.

Stu is one of nicest chaps i have met in the illustration world, and one of the most talented.
Make sure you get down there tomorrow night!
