Doodles on the train
So yes, last weekend I was off on the train for a couple of hours, as promised I was drawing all the way.

Interesting sketches . I love the detail. The character behind the curtain is wonderful. Celia Carlile
Lovely sketches!
Rik
Love these.
Love these, John. The character behind the curtain sparks all sorts of wonderful story ideas...
It never ceases to amaze me how artists like yourself can whip this kind of beauty out just like that. Please get in touch next time you visit Japan, because I do want you to come to ASIJ. Really wonderful stuff, John
Fab, John! What pen do you use?

I loved your work, congratulations.
His drawings can touch our soul.
Very good indeed.
Ps: I'm Brazilian and I can not speak English very well, excuse any errors.
Love the last one with the drape, fabulous.
