Echoes of the Garage

Sketchbooks, illustrations, and the visual side of Echoes of the Garage.

Pencil sketch of a converted garage workspace showing an artist’s desk, chair, shelves, and a figure standing in the room.”

Most people would probably just call it a garage.

To me, it became a studio. A bedroom. A classroom. A hiding place. A place to think. A place to survive.

Over time, the room started changing me too.

This is where Echoes of the Garage was born.

A running sketchbook of daily observation—drawn in motion, collected here like street noise.
