It took the whole wall behind my bed.<\/p>\n<p>That was 85&#8243;x110&#8243; of paper with lines that in my imagination represented highways leading to somewhere. All those lines, stretching for miles, set my imagination free.<\/p>\n<p>I was able to go anywhere I wanted and space was no limitation. Once I ran out of places to go all I had to do was add another piece of paper and I was set free again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just love to sketch and doodle.
