WHAT IS SKETCHPAD?
We're just a bunch of ARTfreaks. Any form of self-expression is a wonderful thing. To some -- we're just a tee-shirt brand...but we really are much more than that (or so I hope it seems that way). Whichever. Whatever. We celebrate our love for art by spreading the word out on those artists who inspire us..We share our interests and our passions with those who can relate...and anyone/anything we find fascinating, you'll most likely see on our BLOG...And we do our own works also. Whether it be on a tee-shirt, a canvas, or a piece of wood we find laying around on the streets...the world is our canvas..and yours. Paint. Draw. Write. EXPRESS. Give us a try. Read our daily blog.

My Interests

I love words. You can transform them into something amazing, something soothing, or something very painful .. hence, my passion for poetry. I love art PERIOD because it's a form of expression in every form you can think of. "Music is the air I breathe".

I'd like to meet:

Whomever.

HOPE LESS.

I hate the word HOPE which is thrown around like a rag-doll these days because of the political campaigns. HOPE does not change things. HOPE is a hoax because there's a possibility that it comes back ...
