is an American contemporary artist, born in New York City. Mace is predominantly known for his drawings in ballpoint pen, using them to create fine artwork, and he is considered a pioneer of the medium. His imagination has also served commercial purposes, appearing in print as illustrations and comic art. Art reviewers have referred to Mace as the ''da Vinci of doodlers'' and the ''ballpoint Picasso''. Lennie Mace has resided in Japan since 1994. A hair salon in central Tokyo, belonging to a Japanese patron, doubles as the ''Lennie Mace VIEWseum'', displaying a collection of original artwork housed within an interior hand-crafted by the artist.〔 He remains active in art communities of both America and Japan. ==Inherent artistic ability== According to Mace, himself, he has been drawing since before he could write his own name.〔 He asserts that "boredom doesn’t exist" for him; drawing is his "way of having fun when there’s no other fun to be had."〔 An overactive imagination also helps keep him occupied; "inspiration comes from the least likely sources at the least likely times" and, if new ideas subsided, he has "enough of a backlog to last several lifetimes."〔 As a teenager, he was the ''Gold Key'' winner of a Scholastic Art Achievement Award.〔〔 Mace also passed the entry exam for New York’s High School of Art and Design but did not attend.〔 He attended New York School of Visual Arts in 1985.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lennie Mace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
