Homeward, the Long Way
August 11, 2026
Six weeks, four countries, one full camera. The gate at Charles de Gaulle, a plane pointed at Istanbul, and the long hop home to the studio. Last post from the road.
Elephants are one of the most loved animals in the world so seemed the most logical to send a message of love. An elephant is also one of the largest, so the contrast between it and the child is powerful.
This is one of the largest artworks created on board, and one of the most fun. Nothing like splashing ink large scale. I love how smoothly the ink flows with the Chinese Calligraphy brushes

Monday’s list said one word: Sennelier. The paint shop on the quay that has been serving artists since 1887. On the way there the Left Bank gave me green glass bubbles, a wall of steel cyclists, and an entire film crew in the Palais-Royal.
Last full day in Paris, so I got up before Paris did. Notre-Dame at six in the morning, an empty square, and the discovery that I was not actually first. The locals were already doing their rounds.
