I promise, this is the last page I will share with the blanc-out-bleed-through-text-technique. This kind of serendipity keeps me drawing in notebooks and from switching to a tablet. Paper is my home. Little square in Uzès at the entrance of the local library. Pencil on 52g Tomoe River paper. #Uzes #sketchbookdrawing #journaling #provence #handlettering #USK #urbansketchers

'No littering. The sea begins here.' Pavement sign in Javea. They chose the silhouette of a giant sunfish (mola mola) to fit all the text in, I presume. (detail travel journal) #sunfish #javea #pencildrawing #uskspain #traveljournal #sketchbook #handlettering

Many thanks to @roadandtrack.artdept for having me in their latest issue of Road & Track vol.17: 'Sacred grounds' and creating this stunning collage of the illustrations. 😍 With a total print circulation of nearly 600,000 copies, this is by far my most distributed travel journal 😳 Amazing!

On our way to Provence we sometimes stop in Bourgo

On our way to Provence we sometimes stop in Bourgogne. Beautiful landscapes and vineyards. Visiting friends makes it even more special. But in winter the climat is damp and we feel it in our old bones. So on to the dry Luberon it is! #traveljournal #carnetdevoyage #sketchingfrance #bourgogne #urbansketchers #usk #lateliernomade #sketchdaily

I’m a believer and optimist when it comes to technology, but an addict to paper and journals as well. Luckily there’s no definitive choice to be made. The mix can be very fruitful.

50 ways to draw a mountain Cézanne showed us wit

50 ways to draw a mountain Cézanne showed us with his Mont Sainte-Victoire. These studies from the Luberon were made west of Oppède-le-Vieux. In different seasons and time of day. Moving slightly in any direction changes the light and scenery in interesting ways. Variations and endless possibilities.
Makes me contemplate on a quote by Nadine Gordimer:
“Time is change; we measure its passage by how much things alter.” #deepmapping #oppede #luberon #lablaque #sketching #traveljournal #luberoncoeurdeprovence #provence #lateliernomade #mapmaking
