Let me show you this sketch journal. It’s done by a fellow named Ian Hands (cool name, friggin awesome!) who’s also known as DEPT H. This is one of several of his sketchbooks done in mixed medias, all sorts of marker, pen, paint, ink, pencil, all done in such a detailed and layered fashion that one can scarcely consider it a book of simple sketches. Nay I say, though they may be jammed healthfully in with a collection of sketchbooks, the contents of these pages are no mere sketches. Masterworks on tiny pieces of paper they are, truly colorfully delicious, arranged in a way so very tasty they be.

This particular sketchbook is titled “Avebury 2004,” though weather that implies that it was done in a certain year or not, only Hands doth truly know.

DEPT H is a multifaceted magic-maker I must say, incase you wanted to explore further. DEPT H can be contacted by emailing ianhands @ dept-h.co.uk and if you’d like to continue looking for newer works than these, I suggest you take a run on over to the DEPT H website at http://dept-h.co.uk/ – quite quaint!

Now rip your way through these pages. Devour them and explore them for all eternity, for they are dense, heavy with meaning, and pretty beyond any mere scribblings.
