Hit the Ground Running

As soon as I got back from Europe (on the 16th) I had summer art assignments with school just 5 days later. The trip was AMAZING!


The Old Nurse

Check out the outfit this old nurse is wearing! Right outta the 1940's, eh?

Finding the hotel in London that my dad was staying at from the airport was a difficult little adventure...nice way to get quick exposure to the city though!


from London to Barcelona!

Stunning architecture in Barcelona

Barcelona Fashion
I had to tell this guy I was a fashion student from Academy of Art to get him to pose (and oddly enough, he knew of the school! Said his friend didn't get accepted.)

Vacant fountains
This little girl was running around all the empty fountains in Madrid while her parents admired a cathedral nearby

The batobus in France is a really fun way to get around

Double rainbow
This double rainbow was brilliant! Paris must have known I was coming, haha


Of course I drew it....

The Scene River in Blue
Paris is so damn inspirational! No wonder it has so many street artists trying to capture it's beauty

It's good to be back in the Bay! But I'll sure miss Europe. More art and photos from the trip to come! (I filled a while sketchbook while I was there)
