Mystery Sketch

By Mark Kaufman
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.”
Albert Einstein

All illustrators and designers probably face this conundrum at one time or another, the mystery sketch. I tend to jot down notes, thumbnails, and ideas on anything at hand, cocktail napkins, newspapers, receipts and the like. Sometimes when I empty my pockets to see what the day has brought forth I find something like this. I don’t have any idea of what this was supposed to be. I like the looks of it though.
