art || TRAVEL sketchbook flip-through
Flipped through my two travel sketchbooks from 2014 to today! I love sketching the places I visit because it’s a fun way to interact with your surroundings and observe tiny details you otherwise wouldn’t. Plus, the final product is beautiful (sometimes)! 😛
I use two different sketchbooks from the same brand, Strathmore, which I LOVE (for a link to the specific sketchbook I use, see below). One of them is toned grey with thinner paper and the other is just white but with thicker, mixed media paper. I use them both, and just decide what type of sketching I’m in the mood for before I leave for my travels!
Hope you guys enjoy!

“Company” on Broadway in NYC
We decided to make our first night in New York City a Broadway night. I’m so glad we ended up choosing the musical “Company”… it completely blew me away! The story opens on the 35th birthday of Bobby, a bachelorette whose friends are all married couples. We then get to see vignettes of each couple’s…
what it means to be your own friend (feat. my last bathroom selfie in Goodes Hall)
Earlier today I took what will likely be my last bathroom selfie in Goodes Hall. (Hopefully in equal part because I’ll grow out of it and because I’m about to graduate from undergrad. 😋) Isn’t it an amazing feeling to be fascinated by an area of study? The utter excitement that comes along with it!…

The City Hall sketch is great! Your comment about drawing a place vs taking a photo struck a note with me. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
