Wow and wow again! Thanks so much for picking up on these and for the all great comments much appreciated. I did these 17 years ago when working in a call centre to fund my music.

As a kid I used to draw all the time (and I mean all the time) so it became 2nd nature. I also studied car design which involved a ton of sketching 'from the mind'. Like all doodlers, I hate being bored and would keep drawing to keep my mind sharp which actually helped my phone calls. It was super tough to make your 82nd call as good as your 1st. Doodling helped. I think I read somewhere how doodling actually helps the brain?

Anyway, thanks again for the blog post and touching comments.

@SL Vitale, thanks I think that was just because of the pens I was using to take notes at the same time :-)

@Sarah Kaake - would have love'd to, but then again I'm no Syd Mead etc

@Hugo - there's a few more of my drawings on my Flickr channel Here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/leesankey

But I didn't go onto create any more sketchbooks quite like these.

I was working in the call centre to fund my other passion, which is this :-)
