SKETCHBOOK

Scribbles | Doodles | Sketches

Welcome to My Sketchbook

A look behind the curtain at the creative process. This collection features spontaneous sketches, character studies, and experimental styles that often serve as the incubator for larger commercial projects. From loose ink drawings to digital paintings, this is where new visual languages are born—unconstrained by a specific brief, but always open for commission.

Unlike the finished campaigns in my commercial portfolio, this is a space for my personal bric-a-brac of scribblings and ideas. It’s not a pitch deck or client project. This is my sketchbook — a space for daily doodles, loose drawings, and visual ideas that arrive when the pen wanders freely.

A Cabinet of Curiosities

Inside, you’ll find all kinds of oddities: a Loch Ness monster disguised as a lounge chair, a touristy Yeti selfie, a jazz band led by a bear with rhythm, and even an IKEA manual drawn by someone very sleep-deprived. These sketches appear uninvited — mid-thought, mid-sip, or mid-laugh. They’re moments caught in ink.

Sketches Without a Brief

Some began with a passing mood or a curious headline. Others came from overheard conversations or the voice of a train conductor announcing a station I didn’t intend to visit. No client, no deadline — just me, a pen, and the peculiar flow of ideas.

Why I Keep a Sketchbook

I’ve always drawn — before I knew what illustration was for. My professional work is purposeful, but this sketchbook isn’t. It’s my laboratory, my playground, a place where ideas live unpolished and unplanned. Sometimes raw, sometimes half-finished, sometimes completely pointless — and that’s what makes them honest.

An Invitation to Wander

You don’t need to decode them. But if one of these drawings makes you pause, smile, or feel like someone else out there also finds existence a little peculiar, then the sketchbook has done its job.

Enjoy following the lines wherever they lead. The tea is imaginary — but the ink is real.
