and it was good
for I was still there...

It was me!
- AndrewBS
- I have always sketched. When I was a kid, my mum kept a large jar of old pencils and pens in the kitchen with old envelopes and scraps of paper nearby. Drawing is cheaper than toys and offers an infinite variety of imaginings. I have never been to art school nor have I sat in an art class. I studied philosophy instead.
Some books to enjoy:
