Artist James Cook uses the characters of a typewriter to create pictures.
Oscar-winning actor Hanks, reportedly owns more than 120 typewriters.
The artist said he thought he would send a portrait to the actor's Playtone Productions Company after he produced it while appearing on the Kelly Clarkson Show in the US in November 2020. "I thought I'd give it a shot and sent him the print of his portrait with a type-written letter explaining my profession, but after that I completely forgot about it," Mr Cook said.Despite producing art since 2014, Mr Cook's first work consisted predominantly of celebrity portraits and drawings of the cast of the BBC series Doctor Who, and it was not until January 2020 that he began to get noticed.
He now creates his unusual artworks as a full-time job at his east London studio, where visitors can also see his collection of about 40 typewriters.
