  Great InsightBook rating: 5

  I was slightly skeptical about the contents of this book prior to its arrival. Sketches and Diary Pages is a title that could lead one to believe that these are Mr Wares seconds, or after thoughts, and that this book may contain a bunch of shopping and to-do lists.
  Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised on opening this book that it is, indeed, full of gems and thought provoking sketches and doodles. And it's inspiring.
  This book is proof that this man has talent and that the simplest of illustrations created by Mr Ware are born of a keen eye and practiced hand. His art is meticulously planned and executed, hence it is refreshing to see it in its raw form, with all his hangups and negativity documented along the way. This is the manual to his beautifully depressive work that keeps me awake at night. by boris ruckels
