A series of life observational drawings while traveling the world,  Kandinsky would approve.

​I am taking a line for a long walk, a meditation of the ebbs and flow of a city, a place people dwell and move. The energy and chemistry of the world, city by city. Urban spaces, rural spaces, and the purgatory of airports are a place of a slower experience, a mediation between time and the public space.

LOCKDOWN AND BEYOND TRAVEL SKETCHBOOKS

​After COVID19 Pandemic had arrived. Here's my sketchbook activities while in Singapore, I've been more active in drawing on locations since they lifted the lockdown and I could explore Singapore in a new way that I didn't or couldn't before the Pandemic.

THE TRAVEL ARTIST SKETCHBOOK DIARY 

From July 2018 - October 2019, Tom and I took about 15 months Sabbatical and travelled the world with just a 20 kg bag and a sketchbook. So far I've filled 5 sketchbooks from 15 countries, 5 continents, slept on 78 beds, took 40 flights, 15 buses, 7 trains, and traveled more than 200,000 km.

Here are a selection of my travel sketchbook. I use primarily ink pen and watercolour.
