My Sketchbook

Welcome to my sketchbook and doodle gallery. I am always doodling. Ever since I could hold a pen, I was incessantly doodling. As a child, my pocket money went on art supplies… (and Mad Magazine paperbacks and comics). I frequently got into trouble for doodling on my desk and in the margins of my schoolbooks. During or after dinner in restaurants even now, napkins rarely go unscathed. Below please find a small collection of doodles and scribblings.
