I busted out an old travel sketchbook recently and sighed audibly as I relived those moments in time when I sat, stared, sketched, and took it all in. But then I quickly realized: oh dear, these sketches are over 10 years old! That’s a problem. I’m not sure why my travel in the past decade has prevented me from keeping up my sketchbook — am I too much on the go? Do I try to squeeze too much in? Am I traveling to the wrong types of places? Or is it more of a sign of the times (ahem, Instagram)? Regardless, I promised myself, I resolve to do at least one sketch per trip for the next year…
I’m off to Napa Valley for Thanksgiving this month, and Art Basel in Miami next month, to start. Who knows what 2014 will bring and where I’ll go next, but I’ll have my sketchbook (and my handy bucket list “Now or Never” notebook) by my side. If you happen to see me oddly staring into space and being — God forbid! — seemingly unproductive, just know, there’s good reason: I’m making the most of my time.
