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.

We also have the option of scanning in an image from outside the computer... a photo, or a sketch done with traditional tools; and we can then paint, manipulate, process, change, and further develop the image within the computer, watching our progress on the monitor.

I used to put on sketch shows at boarding school when I was eight. I'm not sure about the material, but it did used to get a laugh.

When I had a full-time job, I would write dialogue and sketch characters on my commute and during meetings. Now, I forsake showers and regular meals and stay at my desk for hours, taking breaks to drink tea and eat something sweet, usually cake.

Because it's uncensored cable, I think we'll be able to do the kind of sketch comedy that really hasn't been seen before. We can actually finish jokes.

When you're doing sketch comedy and you're pregnant, it's like wearing a giant sombrero in every sketch.
