DownloadDrawing has become one of the few moments in my life
that I get to be present with somebody.
It's a chance to be with them and connect,

My name is George Butler, I'm a reportage artist

drawing humanitarian crisis, conflict zones, natural disasters
and recording the stories that I find there.
I spend a lot of time drawing in places that are typically very loud.
