Scenes from Ohio: Marietta

I am preparing for a summer abroad (stay tuned for a lot of travel sketches!), and while packing, I came across some sketches from various times at home. So, enjoy some scenes from OH-IO:

Last summer, my family visited the Brandywine Museum (every illustrator should visit! #inspiration), then toured Philadelphia and Gettysburg. On our way back from PA, we went for a riverboat ride in Marietta, OH. Here are two marker sketches from the excursion:

Check out this wordless children's book set to music! The execution is fantastic, and the concept is brilliant. Well worth the watch.

Savannah Scavenger Hunt: The Pirates' House

I had done this sketch before the postcard challenge began, but it just so happens to be one of the scenes!

I was with fellow illustrator and fine artist Jordan Wong, whose work is stunningly beautiful! After surveying some different spots around town, we happened upon this fun scene. The "pirate" was greeting visitors on tour buses, but in between gigs, he was kind enough to allow us to sketch him.
