Sketchbook Archives: 19
Some more archive sketches from October 2012, out and about with architecture, people and pigeons. I like pigeons, they’re happy and chubby little creatures.

#Caturday Silhouette 4
I’m clearing out my plans chests. I have two and I want to cut back to one. That’s a lot of sorting to do.
