Pages from Travel Journals
When traveling, I always carry a sketchbook to try to capture the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of a culture…really, the essence of life in the place I am visiting. Many drawings were made very quickly while bumping along dirt roads (extreme drawing in Ethiopia) or zipping along busy thoroughfares on the way to shows where I have been volunteering as a performer for 20 years with Magicians Without Borders. When time permits I love to sit and observe life around me using mainly ink, watercolors, color pencils on Moleskine or Holbein sketchbooks. Below are a few of the many sketches from more than fifty journals.
