Brad Sherk started drawing and making art at a very early age and started selling his work in 2010. He mainly uses chalk pastels and conté for his drawings. He has always been fascinated by nature and wildlife and has made it a goal to celebrate nature in his work as well as express environmental concerns.
Sherk says he hasn't been to Alaska; "it's on my list, though." He got the inspiration for the Alaska time-lapse drawing when a friend and his family came back to Ontario after going to Alaska for a family vacation. They showed him incredibly beautiful photos of the sea stack islands that they kayaked around in an inlet. Sherk also had recently watched the documentary "Blackfish" and was interested in creating a piece that celebrated orcas in their natural habitat.
This video is the first in a series Sherk made in collaboration with his brother, filmmaker Darryl Sherk. For other time-lapse videos by Sherk borthers, check out their YouTube channel.
