Last page of the previous notebook

 Usually last page of each notebook is created over time. The result is quite random, product of small additions, and still beautiful.

Box to treasure my RTW book

15 years since I started my round the world trip. So I ordered this handmade box to treasure the book.

I wrote the book a few years after the trip. For sure the project which took me the most quantity of energy ever. I will never do something like that again. And it’s huge (photos don’t say the real size).

Very happy with that box, its feeling, colors and texture. Both book and box together weight a few tons.

The box keeps the book and the book keeps uncountable memories. As I always say: Every moment in that trip was a peak experience.

Best time to visit Thailand

When is the best time to visit Thailand? Very easy answer: Always!

Just forget the temperature curves or raining bars and look at the happiness level. It’s always set at 100% And honestly the decision of being in or out of Thailand is obvious. 

 

Beautiful shapes

Nature creates nice shapes. I just copy them and enjoy the process of learning their subtle details.

New crosshatching technique

This technique is so fun. A kind of free crosshatching. I guess it needs a few days (or years or lives) to master but the path would be enjoyable.

The combination of ink and mechanical pencil 2H avoids blur/dirty pages in comparison with soft pencil drawings. Definitely I'd like to use more pencil in my pages but in my experience it tends to get dirty easily in a travelled notebook. However Microns are great and solve that problem. Just need time to learn how to produce textures, shades and contrast in lines. 

Airbus A350

 

My tiny contribution to design of Airbus A350 XWB was adding a fuselage section with orange shape. You can see it easily. Pay attention next time you flight :)

Just joking. Even when I was working on that airplane for years, I’ve never seen it (with the exception of an Air Show in Paris). And it was in 2021 when I flew on it for first time. Yes, magic of large multinational corporations and their complexity make that possible. An employee can work on something and never even see it.
