I made some illustrations for my friend Duffie. We’re hoping to get these published. Crossing fingers, Duff. I’m very honored to be your illustrator.

I share a fondness for travel experiences. Like what Gilbert said in “Eat, Pray, Love” we can tag one word descriptions to sum up our feelings toward each country we visit. These words become part of you, because they’re now named – according to your own nuances.

A short set of interesting stuff from the interwebs.
