SKETCHTRAVEL

Have you heard of Sketchtravel yet? If not, I suggest you get to know this little project. The first Sketchtravel started in October of 2006 by illustrators Gerald Guerlais and Dice Tsutsumi, and ended in November 2010. The book traveled all over the world and landed in the hands of 70 of the most talented artists in the fields of comics, illustration, and animation. I had a chance to hear the team of sketch-makers talk about the making of the first book and i was blown away by the amount of work and dedication these artists put into this project.

A new book has been started and Christophe is the first contributor! I can't wait to buy a copy of the first edition and watch the journey of the second. Check out a little making of preview below.

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS

This past weekend I saw Woody Allen's new film, "Midnight in Paris" and I have to say I absolutely LOVED it. I encourage you to go see it. The costumes were amazing as well as the sets. It inspired me to dig into some 1920's styling.
