In anticipation of talking
After the drawers there are the sketch* books. I’ve got one or two, in piles, gathering dust, on shelves around the studio.
Mostly I draw in books to work out ideas, sometimes, in the more classic sense, I draw things I see around me. Here are some pages from various books at various times.

*I don’t like the word 'sketch', it has too many connotations of laziness and the throw away gesture. It sounds far too slap-dash. Drawing is a more positive thing altogether.
