His drawings all exhibit a visual consistency and confidence of line that is impressive in its visual form and its communicative power.

Presenting a carefully chosen selection of these artworks, Sketch will offer insight into his design process and serve as a document of inspirational visual explorations to Karim fans as well as artists and designers.
