Whenever I travel, I bring my camera. It remembers the little details I can’t. Then I come home and the photos take me back to those places. They are also great resources for illustration and imagining. Last week I posted some word building illustrations. When I try to imagine and build what doesn’t exist, photos of what does provide invaluable insight. Between my photos and google searches, I work toward my vision for each piece of each illustration. Below are a few favorite cityscapes I pulled out of my files. Whether from street level or from above, each provides a window into the culture of each city.
Cabo san Lucas waterfront.
New York City from the Rockefeller Building.
On the street in Portland, OR.
Ghent, Belgium.
Bergen, Norway.
Prague, CZ (a place called nazdrazi holesovice, if my notes are to be trusted).
Cesky Krumlov, CZ.
- Baltimore waterfront.
