Why I love sharpie:

While taking a drawing class in Italy I discovered my love for sharpie. It is so freeing. The quick movements of the pen and so precise and harsh against white paper – yet at the same time can be delicate and smooth. But more than anything I love the quickness. I don’t have to wait on mixing ink or smudging carcoal – I can just draw. I feel uninhibited and completely lost in a drawing.

I wish everyone could find that one activity that makes them feel that way. Completely separated from the world, and in peace with your own thoughts. It is definitely something to be treasured.

Here are some of the sharpie drawings I did in Italy. Enjoy.
