Sketchplanations

🎉 You're in!

I'm Jono, and I create all the sketchplanations you see.

I'll send you interesting, surprising, clarifying and easy-to-absorb sketches — just one per week.

A few things to know about Sketchplanations:

📔 There's a book!

Even better than a sketch in your email is my new book Big Ideas Little Pictures. If you like the look of Sketchplanations I think you'll love the book. It's out now in the US and Canada. For the rest of the world, pre-ordering really helps out and means you'll be first to get a copy.

🎙️ There's a podcast

Sketchplanations is also a podcast. Together with TV presenter Rob Bell and inventor Tom Pellereau, we take one or more sketches for each episode and dive into them. It's fun and light-hearted, and I hope it'll make you think too.

Where we discussed a sketch in the podcast, you'll also find a link to the episode on its page.

👍 Take a look through the archive

I've drawn over 850 sketchplanations. Here are some collections you might enjoy.

Or browse the archive or tags to see others.

🚀 Please use and share sketchplanations

I love it when people share sketches. For casual use, such as a presentation, article, Instagram post, or the like, please go ahead, just keep in the Sketchplanations name in the image and provide credit, with a link ideally. If you find yourself doing it a lot you might consider becoming a patron for a time, or buying me a coffee. There's a link on each sketch to download a high-quality version if you need it.

If you want to sell sketchplanations or make them a core part of your business please contact me first. Check out the licence page for more details.

👋 I love your feedback and suggestions

Reader suggestions make the best sketchplanations. You can hit reply on any email and it comes straight to me at jono.hey@gmail.com. Please send on your thoughts or just say hi.

🙏 Consider supporting me

Some generous folks support me monthly, which helps cover my costs and keep the sketchplanations coming. You'll get a few rewards, too, as a thank you. If at some point you decide you like Sketchplanations, or if they've helped you, please consider supporting me for a small monthly amount on Patreon. It makes a massive difference. It's also who I turn to first when trying out new things.

It's also easy to buy me a coffee.

I also plant 5 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 trees for every person buying a coffee and 5 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 trees every month through Eden Projects for every patron at any amount in case you are on the fence =)

🎁 Sketchplanations make great prints and gifts

You can order cheap art prints, greeting cards, nice framed prints to go on the wall, even coasters of sketches you like. Perfect for sending to a friend, keeping a reminder handy, or having something nice to look at. I added some pics at the bottom for the sort of thing. Still adding some of the back catalogue so if I'm missing one you'd like, just let me know.

Anyway, I'm thrilled to have you onboard, and it makes me want to explain more stuff.
