Sketchtravel exhibition is opening in Kyoto International Manga Museum in Japan tomorrow.
This is a poster/flyer image I created for the show.
What started as a fun project of passing around a sketchbook among artists around the world in 2006, organized by Dice Tsutsumi and Gerald Guelais, turned out to be something a lot bigger scale by the time last page was filled in 2011, resulting in publishing of the book in multiple language editions and becoming a bestseller in France and Japan, traveling exhibitions, and most importantly, auctioning off the original book to fund Room To Read to build libraries in five countries so far.see the creative process of this image and read more about Sketchtravel on my blog

“Nothing matters more than the stories we tell ourselves to explain the world.”
…even if you are doing something that is not seen by anyone, your existence is seen, by someone around you, and [a] positive message is always necessary, especially in this uncertain world.
— Yuko Shimizu, as told to The Assembly Line Collective
