Sketchbooks

Product Information

A sketchbook is a place where I can discuss ideas with myself, a place I work through and refine an idea for a good while before I will let it run around the studio, and then the world. I became a father in 1992, and when my young daughter Flo and I started drawing together for fun it rekindled my enthusiasm for sketching, reminding me that not every artwork had to count towards my slowly developing “career”.

Between the covers I feel safe – the drawings need never be seen by anyone but me – and thus I can play.I carry one with me most of the time, and if I can’t do that I usually stuff a pen and a few sheets of paper into a pocket or handbag, just in case. I have to feel I have developed an idea enough before committing to the labour-intensive version – beginning with postage stamp-size doodles, through to double page full-colour layouts that may take several hours. My sketchbooks do not make up a smooth, continuous series, as at different times in my career the sketchbook has played different roles. It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not in case they are used to provide a service that you use. I regularly flick through old sketchbooks, as I have a habit of jotting down a few words or a tiny doodle of an idea at the very first glimmer.

Antenne Books began by working with publishers Aki Books, Hassla, Nieves, Seems and The Institute of Social Hypocrisy, introducing retailers to publications that had, until then, rarely been available in Europe. One game we often played involved inventing a character, then drawing their family, then their house, car, holiday destination, etc. A first-time collection of Grayson Perry’s sketches, Sketchbooks follows the evolution of his career from art school to the present day.

Like one of my artistic heroes, 40:492" title=""40:492" title="">40:492"40:492" title="">Henry Darger, I often heavily worked both sides of each leaf, with no thought as to how I might display – let alone sell – these works. I may dismiss them or forget them, so I go back to see if a silly squiggle needs to be taken more seriously.
