There’s nothing better than a good doze of pressure to get us focused, and I found that posting sketches on this page help me to stay stimulated and somewhat focused on new ideas for future projects. In this page, I like to collect sketches in diverse media, whether it’s pencil or ink. Occasionally, I also upload some calligraphy exercises every now and then. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-22509998-3’]); _gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]); (function() { var ga =
