What's the picture on the cover?

The picture is my own version of Hokusai's remarkable "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" or just the "Great Wave." Here's the Great Wave at The MET . I once saw the real thing at the British Museum in London. It's small, but few pictures captivate the way it does. Hokusai's wave evolved a lot throughout his life .

Can I buy a print of the cover?

I'm so glad you asked ;o) You can buy prints and other merch of the Sketchplanations Wave .

Let me know if you there's a design you'd like that I don't have.

Why a book?

I started making sketchplanations in 2013 by sketching them in actual books. While putting the sketches online has helped them reach so many more people there’s something about browsing through the sketches in a book, phones and laptops away, that makes it the best way to experience it.


Which sketches to include was a challenge. I’m really happy that I’ve selected sketches that will teach you a new thing or two about the world, make you think, inspire you and make you smile. In the process, I added a host of sketches for topics I’d always wanted to cover ranging from How to Win at Monopoly to the Basics of a Good Night’s Sleep.
