Wow! It’s been a massive task to scan and upload all these sketches so I thought it was important to celebrate the completion of this achievement with a summary post. So this one includes an index in chronological order of all my Big Trip 2010 posts and a few of my favourite sketches.

A few favourite sketches

It’s so hard to do this, but here are the ones that stand out. Some of these have been chosen because of the main sketch on the page, and others are favourites because of the page layout.

(BTW my definition of ‘a few’ is a bit questionable!)
























 

Finally…

Thank you so much for coming on the trip with me! It was an incredible journey on it’s own, but being able to share it with you all means so much to me!
