In late 2023 I began taking a small sketchbook with me to work, sketching down ideas / thoughts / concepts while I wait for a tube and on the short journeys taken on my way to teach. Speed is the idea behind these sketchbooks, they are not long, meticulous drawings, they are quick and playful. There is never a plan for what I draw, sometimes responding to the previous page sometimes just drawing what I want to see in that moment. Since starting this activity, many ideas and characters have been slowly forming, eventually this will all lead towards something new and something delightful (I hope).
