sketchbooks

Personal recollection is a resource to draw from in creating art.
"Animation itself is the hard copy of psychological memory."
This is a quote from Paul Wells in Drawing for Animation.
I have thought about this as I browse through old sketchbooks, they form a visual record of my own personal history. Each sketch represents and records a specific moment that I have personally captured in a concentrated form. As a result of the intensity of concentration necessary to attempt to capture such records these drawings can be said to be the essences of memory.
