So now you know what (Davis) is thinking. Could be (anyone, anywhere); but it isn’t. A story exercise; they are all linked, beginning to end, if you can find the link.

All images 8cm by 10.5cm, micron pen or staedtler pen and cotman watercolour, all in a moleskine (except one); and (for the first time ever), i used a ruler.
