About the artist

Hello, I'm Paul Prosper.

I'm the artist behind Poldrawingz, based in Dar es Salaam. I draw with a single wandering line: loops and scribbles layered by hand until a face appears out of the dark.

Most of my work is portraiture. People, culture and everyday life in Tanzania, from musicians and mothers to the vendor on his bicycle. Every piece is printed and framed in the studio, so it arrives ready to hang.
