[Untouched24]

Hah, KingKostas said what I was thinking. I just wanted to say it's great that someone with as much industry experience as you continually updates so regularly. It's always awesome to come back to this sketchbook and see what you're putting up and I think people really appreciate it. So thanks for that. Always cool to see.

unbelievable!!! this is the most impressive sketchbook i have ever seen!!! you must be a very lucky person because it seems you can put all your thaughts and ideas on paper. There is so much work in here and it seems you simply can draw everything. are there any things you struggle with sometimes ???

Wow Mike, these updates look brilliant, as always you are so inspiring. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and all the the best to you for the coming year.

Holy shit this sketchbook is insane. I checked out the first 15 pages and I'm so overwhelmed with input. You've made so many film stuff, it's crazy and inspiring.

I have a question though. On page one there are these Harry Potter teaser-poster. Why are there fireman on the cover? I never read the book, but I dont remember fireman in the movie either, also was orginally John Travolta playing Harry Potter? That would be the best thing ever happen I think.

Cheers

Sandro
