Sometimes it’s hard to distill the torrents of information that pour over you at conferences, which is why I record the panels and talks I attend into live-scribed doodles. All of the quotes below are drawn and transcribed directly in the respective sessions, spanning conferences from 2018 to 2015. You can follow my latest sketches on Instagram @archcomix
