An illustrated journey: inspiration from the private art journals of traveling artists, illustrators and designers - danny gregory

A rich and varied collection of pages from the illustrated travel journals of artists and travelers around the world.

The trend for illustrated journaling has been gathering fans with sites like Urban Sketchers and the authors last book, An Illustrated Life.

Travel + Sketching = Inspiration When we travel, we dont want to follow the same itinerary as everyone whos come before us.

We want to feel like explorers, adventurers in undiscovered territory.

And thats exactly what sketching can bring to the travel experience.

An Illustrated Journey captures the world through the eyes of 40 talented artists, illustrators and designers.

Youll experience the wonder of seeing familiar sights through a fresh lens but, more important, youll be inspired to set pen to paper and capture your own vistas.

The really wonderful thing about a sketchbook is that it can be totally private.

You dont have to have an ounce of talent to enjoy learning how to really see whats in front of you.

But lucky for us, the sketchbooks captured here are lovely, creative, intimate windows into each artists mind.

So, whether youre just returning to the art of drawing, abandoned by most of us after childhood, or youre looking for inspiration to take your illustration work in a new direction, An Illustrated Journey will take you on a wonderful trip of the imagination.

All you need to pack are a pencil and a piece of paper.
