Two weeks in Barcelona, featuring antibiotics, old friends, new friends, popcorn for dinner and fireworks on the beach Lettering on the spread is based on the font used in the branding for Gaudi’s Casa Vicens. The lettering on the other page is based on a script on the floor of Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia

The old town of Cuenca, perched on a clifftop and looking surreal

Going all in with the Spanish windmill cliché today! (The lighting/shadow on the drawing was from a previous day)

Spent the morning sketching in Casa Vicens – another Gaudi masterpiece. The rooftop is adorned with these little towers filled with beautiful tiles 😍

11 days in Valencia, featuring cycling, art shows, good italian food, bad mexican food, cool cacti and peeing in the sea (🤷‍♀️)

Architectural styles in Granada vary so much based on its history of Christian and Muslim rule, as shown through its wide variety of intriguing and detailed doors. Heres a sketch of a few that I loved, though they certainly weren’t the only ones!

The past 8 days in Granada, featuring sun, rain, gorges, caves, magic tricks and my first drawing buddy on this trip (hey @niteowlink !)

Summary of my time in Gibraltar and Malaga, featuring: Adorable dogs, indifferent (but also adorable) monkeys, dancing uphill, the worst burger of my life, packing/unpacking/repacking, naps, downpours and a heavy suitcase. Funny how a jam-packed 36 hours in Gib has about the same amount of stories as 4 slow days in Malaga!
