I made a few scans of an old sketchbook from about ten years ago. I'll be posting some sketches from there every now and then. Here's the first sample. I drew this one in 1998. The Japanese letters on the side make out my name. I learned that from a Japanese calligraphy course I took back then. Unfortunately, I don't remember anything from that course...

My recent sketches were influenced by Michael Nobbs. He also likes to draw and he made this nice booklet called "75 ways to draw more". I went through his list and found it quite inspiring. It basically says that you should draw whatever you see around you, no matter how ordinary it looks. Simple and true. So, thank you Michael. I dedicate this phone sketch to you. It was just sitting there on my desk...
