Today I’m leaving for a month-long sketching expedition to North Africa. My traveling companion is the writer/adventurer
Alan Dean Foster. I first got to know Alan over 20 years ago when I
painted covers for his science fiction novels. Later he wrote two
novels in the Dinotopia universe.
Over the years Alan has sent me postcards from places like Timbuktu, Pitcairn Island, Great Barrier Reef, Papua New Guinea (above) and Oouagadougou. This time I’m thrilled to be joining him. I’ll be researching a couple of different projects and sketching in watercolor and gouache. We’re going first to Malta, and then Tunisia and Morocco.
I’m leaving the laptop home with my wife Jeanette, who will be posting regularly to the blog, using content that I worked up in advance. Maybe she will share a few of her own sketches. If I can figure out the tech, I’ll try to send home some pictures from Internet cafes along the way before returning on November 26.
