Travel sketches

Illustrations and paintings from around the world


These hand drawn illustrations are from travels across Europe and South East Asia. All of these were done on location, perched on pavements or street corners with a ink pen and a portable watercolor set. Its a great way to catch the energy and immediacy of a place over an extended period A lot of these were either done on holiday or, in the case of the Myanmar pictures, for a specific illustration trip. This is perhaps the kind of illustration I enjoy the most - getting outside and really digging into a location over an hour or so to capture how things evolve.
