1980s

These are pen and ink drawings, black and white drawings mostly, from sketchbooks going back all the way to my teenage years. Indeed, perhaps the majority of these drawings were executed between 1987 and 1993 (from the time I was 17 until 23). In those early years it was my habit to carry a sketchbook with me everywhere and whenever I felt uncomfortable, socially or otherwise, I would retreat to the sketchbook. Because I felt uncomfortable most of the time, a great deal of drawing got done.
