What is in your sketchbook?
I have two different types of sketchbook: a project sketchbook and an adventure sketchbook.
My project sketchbook contains roughs and experiments for the larger scale work that I do; and my adventure sketchbook is full of nice papers that I’ve collected, with collage and drawings of interesting things I’ve seen or heard.
