Sketch Quotes
Where every finished idea begins.
This set covers sketch in two senses - the comedy-writing kind, rewritten around a table until the jokes land, and the drawing kind, the pencil outline a dress or a film starts from before anything is fixed. Both share a respect for the rough first pass, a theme also found in our Creativity collection.
