Over the past few days, I’ve been going live on TikTok, sharing my process of creating slow, memory-based illustrations in real time. These sessions — five so far — have become little rituals of drawing, reflecting, and piecing together personal memories into sketchbook pages.
Each artwork has been built from scratch using fragments of real life: old cinema and train tickets, handwritten notes, and leaflets from cultural places and festivals that left an imprint on me. The process resembles how sketchbooks are developed for fine art university entries — thoughtful, layered, personal.
In total, around 300 people dropped in across the sessions. Some stayed for a few moments, some longer — and to each of you, thank you. Your presence made the space feel gently shared. 🌿
This project has been very therapeutic for me, and I think in the future I’d love to explore doing it in real spaces, with groups, like a collective memory-sketching practice. For now, I’m sharing a few of the illustrations that came out of those sessions — the rest will be available online soon, once I manage to edit the recordings.
Thank you again to everyone who joined — and if you feel drawn to memory-based art, quiet processes, or sketchbooking as reflection, feel free to follow my TikTok @aga_loft
