I just realised that I never finished posting all my ‘big trip’ sketchbooks last year. Open publication – Free publishing – More travel So here is the next one – Bologna and Rome part 1. My friend Eza and I spent 2 days in Bologna – we didn’t really know anything about the city beforehand […]
Individual sketches can be found on my flickr site. I love putting this together for the sketches I did during the recent 8-day trip to Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China. Zhangjiajie poises itself to be a rising tourist city for its natural scenery. For the past 20 years, infrastructure such as roads, hotels, mountain elevator, cable car […]
Here are three sketches from my week in Venice in September that I really enjoyed at the time… …the rest are here in my sketchbook Volume 6. Open publication – Free publishing – More venice While I can’t really say that the first 5 volumes were ‘warm-ups’… Volumes 6-8 are when the SERIOUS sketching happened […]
Open publication – Free publishing – More sketches We booked a Korea-Shanghai tour with some friends. The tour was 8 days – 2 days on Cheju island, 4 days in Seoul, and 2 days in Shanghai. It seemed exciting on the itinerary but in the middle of it, we were so tired of flying from […]
Open publication – Free publishing – More watercolour Here is the next installment – the final book of the UK portion of my big trip. Only 3 weeks of sketching in Italy to go now! This is my most ambitious and draining part of the trip – quite a lot of driving, over stimulation in […]
I visit lapinette’s brother last week to meet his newborn little “marie”. it’s a big challenge to sketch such a delicate portrait: and even if we went to prague to spend time with marie, her sister and her parents, I manage to spend one day in the historical centre in spite of the snow and […]
Here is the next installation. Open publication – Free publishing – More uk … lots of Scottish castles, hills and the occasional(!?!) tearoom or cup of tea and scone! This is book represents 2 weeks worth of sketching (as opposed to my usual 1-1.5 weeks)… so really ‘slow going’ for me! Somewhere in the middle […]

I started sketching with the same point of view during my last travels. it will become a collection I guess… blogged by lapin
Kansas City’s airport is my favorite…relatively small, easy to deal with, no long, long walks… interesting architecture, and usually jazz playing. What’s not to like?? I always try to sketch the airports or planes or fellow travelers…it helps pass the time and eases travel stress. My new small watercolor set works well for working on […]
looking at norberto dorantes post about mexico city and its cathedral, it reminds me this composition I did for the biennale of clermont-ferrand years ago about a 2 weeks trip in mexico. I went back there in 2006, and now that I speak spanish I would love to visit it again. viva mexico!
