I chose to share my favorite places. It is a superb region, often compared to Ireland hence its nickname of Little Ireland. For my part it makes me think of the landscapes of Brittany. Produced as part of the Nate Padavick course for Sketch Book Skool

A holiday wish from where I live in North America, where it is beginning to get cold. Inspired by #Let's Make Greeting Cards, and #Let's Make a Map.

I recently moved to Ferndale, MI and am loving it! Here is a watercolor and ink illustrated map of a few of my favorite places downtown. It's such a charming city—can't wait for the holidays!

Downtown Los Angeles has much to offer in terms of food, coffee/study spots, ice cream, impactful and diverse non-profits, and cultural monuments. I picked this area because there's always something going on every week and you can never get sick of the diverse cultural aspects of Downtown LA, Arts District, Chinatown, and Little Tokyo!

Here is a lively digital map illustration I created to showcase all the fun things there are to do around downtown Milwaukee.

Eagle Rock is located in Northeast Los Angeles. The influx of food places attracts many to the downtown area where Eagle Rock Blvd and Colorado Blvd intersect. Here is a map of some food places I would recommend as an Eagle Rock resident of 26 years.

Our Village of Patchogue, NY, started a new pub style crawl last year, where instead of a bar hopping crawl for alcohol, crawlers are treated to breakfast creations such as Chicken Waffle Meatballs and Creme Brûlée Fireball French Toast. All I have to say is OMG. This is a map of Breakfast Crawl #5 coming up this Saturday, October 7, 2017.

Rich with natural and man made heritage, Mongolia is a vast country, home of the largest equestrian statue in the world- it's 40 m tall and depicts Genghis Khan on horseback. It is also a country of many dinosaur discoveries, singing dunes, hot springs, ancient Buddhist monasteries and palaces.

Nara, a city near Kyoto, is a perfect city for day-trip. As Japan's capital city during Nara Period, it contains many historical Buddhism temples (including Todaiji - world's largest wooden building). Deer wander freely around near Nara Park.

Tourists usually arrive at one of the railway stations (JR or Kintetsu), and then walk around the east part of the city to visit temples and deers. There are some Nara foods along the way.

My favorite things to see, do, and eat in Xi'an!
