NINE SQUARE INCHES

Nine Square Inches (NSI) is a collection of small illustrations in tiny squares by enormous talents. Each physical piece is roughly 5"x5", however the art area is limited to 3"x3" (7.62cm x 7.62cm)--the size of a Post-It!

The idea began in 1998, when I met Paul Pope at the San Diego Comic-Con. He drew the image you see here on the left,​ of what appears to be a traveler resting with a walking stick on his lap at the edge of a cliff, taking in the view before continuing his journey.

Impressed by the storytelling conveyed in
such a small space, I decided to challenge other artists to draw something using the
same constraints.

Thank you for visiting... I hope you enjoy
​the results as much as I have!
