“I draw every day. I am deeply committed to it. I draw on anything I can find; an old envelope lying around, a piece of scrap paper, or a sheet of fine drawing paper. It doesn’t matter.

It’s so powerful, so essential, to let it flow. The result doesn’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t have to become a masterpiece. Sometimes it does, but not always. That’s not the point. This is a release. And it’s deeply satisfying to see the image unfold quickly in front of you. A fragment of a gate opens. A detail from another realm becomes visible; right there, on the paper, in real time.
You are the director. The scene is unfolding in front of you, instantly. Fast.
No matter where you are, no matter what surface you use; it happens.

It’s also powerful because of the scale. It’s small. The space is reduced to the minimum.
These daily drawings are vital, not only because they sharpen your skills, but more importantly, because they let you discover new forms, new imagery that suddenly appear out of nowhere.

You can dive into them quickly. You feel it in your hand. You’re tapping into a frequency. You keep going, keep drawing, deeper and deeper into the flow. One drawing after another, fast but profound. So satisfying.

And it’s just on a piece of paper, not a canvas, not expensive paint, not a full studio setup. None of that is needed.

I always carry pens with me. For me, the best combination is three: one thick, one very thin, and one in between. This trio creates something magical in my work. But if I don’t have them, even a simple writing pen will do. In truth, it doesn’t matter. It’s about the release. The flow. About opening worlds; wherever, whenever, on whatever you choose.

You should do this too.
Don’t hesitate. Don’t hold yourself back, thinking you need this tool or that surface. Just let it flow. Enjoy the process. If you don’t like what you made, turn the page, find another sheet; the next one might be the one that speaks. It’s not about the final result. It’s about the story you’re creating in front of you. It’s about being present in the act of making. The play. The film that unfolds with every line. And with each stroke, you change the story.

Enjoy it. If you don’t like it, make another.
Like changing a channel when a drama doesn’t hold you, but here, you’re creating the shows yourself.

Stop reading.
Start releasing the flow.
You are the director.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign; this is it!”
