when i found 'lines'...




i was in korea and i was absolutely bored (not that korea was boring me, i was just bored), so i bought the first sketchbook i found (which happened to have all those inspiring ;) quotes - read previous post), and started drawing my dreams.
it was the first time i used lines as the dominant technique to illustrate.
i was obsessed by lines ever since...

vintage doodles

so this is what i did in college. daydream + doodle.
i did get in trouble a lot for drawing caricatures of my teachers.
once, this odd, but interesting looking teacher caught me drawing him and he asked if the caricature did really look like him. i accidentally said: "better." i meant it the other way around, but oh well.
these are no caricatures, just doodles...







what about 'them sleeping birds?

they'all sleeping on the power line. crazy...
