Here I want to show my sketches and doodles in the same way as MindCandyMan or rubygenesis have started (and to get comments and critiques, of course ).

Today I start with two pages I did yesterday, inspired by MindCandyMan's pen and ink studies. I just grabbed a few GEO and National Geographic magazines and drew what caught my mind. Feel free to comment.
