“I listen better when I’m drawing.”

 Gothmog is a 3.5in x 5.5in (9cm x 14cm) moleskine hardbound sketchbook. I primarily used a japanese ink brush pen, but I cannot identify the brand of pen because I cannot read japanese characters.

I did all these drawings while sitting in meetings at my day job. It was my way of coping with the long hours of group communication necessary to the functioning of all corporations.
