“I hand-draw, paint, and collage images from memory, enhancing them with Posca markers. Sometimes I incorporate items like ticket stubs or fragments of flyers, creating a memory book.”

“The green paper is a separate, miniature book within the sketchbook. It’s a space where diverse ideas intersect and potentially give rise to something new. I view each sketch as a brick contributing to the larger structure, where their collective presence forms something robust and meaningful.

“Sharing my sketchbook feels intimate, akin to opening up my mind for inspection, tenderly revealing its contents.”

Minsker created the feature documentaries Scooter LaForge: A Life of Art (2024) and Man in Camo (2018).
