Rio de Janeiro-based artist Álvaro Franca loves to create portraits of his favorite people using nothing more the keys of a typewriter.
In his new Typewritten series, Franca “drew” five of his favorite authors, including Jack Kerouac, J.D. Salinger, and Charles Bukowski.
As someone who can barely draw a stick figure, I’m incredibly impressed with what this author can do with a bunch of keystrokes.

The entire process takes a good deal of planning to execute just right. The artist works between his Macbook and a typewriter.
