An Illustrated Journey

An inspiring collection of artists from various places going to other places. I love reading about their approach (so many brilliant insights into the whole process of art and creativity and journaling). I especially loved the details of their respective kits. And of course seeing the different artwork. I wish the other book in the series was also on Kindle!

Was a gift for a friend. They absolutely loved it!

Very inspiring

The date was way later which i wish could be earlier but anyways it was delivered well within the time mentioned. The top corner was torn, don't know if that's coz of the packaging or how it was sent. Happy with the purchase. This author is my favourite.

una bella raccolta di taccuini, alcuni più belli di altri, ma comunque suggestivi e carichi di passione per il disegno e la pittura. Un piacevole viaggio nel mondo dell'arte... da viaggio!

An Illustrated Journey is a delightful collection of travel sketches from 40 contributors all over the world. They draw on location, they record their thoughts, and they share their stories in this book. The presentation style is similar to Danny Gregory's previous book An Illustrated Life , a book that I still refer to regularly. This book is somewhat similar to The Art of Urban Sketching . The sketches are all done on location. In this book however, the focus is on the contributors themselves and their thoughts on places and sketching while traveling. The writeup is longer with more depth and you really get to feel their love for sketching. I really enjoy looking at the beautiful sketches and reading the scribbled notes on the pages. Sketches have the charm and personalities that can't be found from photographs. I guess that's why I love sketchbooks so much. This is an inspiring sketchbook for travel and art lovers. It's definitely one of my favourite books for 2013. Highly recommended. The artists featured are: Ken Avidor Roberta Avidor Chris Buchholz Suzanne Cabrera Lisa Cheney-Jorgensen Fabio Consoli Jean-Christophe Defline Benedetta Dossi Bob Fisher Enrique Flores Will Freeborn Carol Gillott Virginia Hein Miguel "Freekhand" Herranz Hannah Hinchman Kathrin Jebsen-Marwedel Nina Johansson Cathy Johnson Andrea Joseph Tommy Kane Stephane Kardos Amanda Kavanagh Ch'ng Kiah Kiean Kirk Kolby Olivier Kugler Lapin Veronica Lawlor Don Low Prashant Miranda Steven B. Reddy Melaine Reim Lucinda Rogers Felix Scheinberger Pete Scully Richard Sheppard Suhita Shirodkar Ian Sidaway Liz Steel Roz Stendahl Brenda Swenson Asnee Tasnaruangrong Earnest Ward Bryce Wymer - I wanted to recommend a few more travel related sketchbooks but realize that there are too many. So instead, I'll post a link to the list on my blog in the comments section below.

Its an encyclopedia!!!!!!! A enormous amount of artists with examples of their work. Nice, big drawings on semi-glossy pages. Then is the written part... with info about their tools, art travel kit, inspiration, etc... Its so "crowded" with beauty!!!! :0) If it was intended for a difference audience/customers ...it should have cost 3 times this price !!! No kidding !!! By the way they have it at INDIGO & Chapters. Go check for yourself. Its gone glue on your hands :0)

Un libro estupendamente ilustrado y editado, con una información visual y de contenido variados e interesantes. Lo he encuadernado con cubiertas duras para hacerlo más manejable, la cubierta original no soportaba suficientement el peso del bloque del libro, que tendia a doblarse, pero precisamente el hecho de encuadernarlo demuestra mi opinión de que vale la pena tenerlo. Un diez para el autor y compilador.

Beautiful book
