Drawings you can keep in your pocket.

Six new illustrations — a martini at the bar, a chess endgame, a black cat on the good armchair — drawn in green ink and printed on cream-faced steel.

Twelve drawings, six cases, one green pencil.

The sheet

Twelve drawings, one page.

Every case starts here. Twelve vignettes drawn in green ink over a few slow evenings — the six that made it onto steel, and the six still waiting their turn.

The drawings are kept exactly as they came off the pencil: uneven line weights, hatching, and all.

A sheet of twelve hand-drawn green ink vignettes on cream paper: a bar, a casino still life, a coastal terrace, chess, lettering, a cat, wine, books, backgammon, a balcony and a bouquet

Packed to be handed over.

Every case leaves in a cream box.

Tissue, a heavy cream box, and a card we'll write by hand if you leave a note at checkout. Fifty of each drawing — when a run is gone, the drawing goes back on the sheet.
