Travel Drawings from Sketching in Brazil, Rio & the Amazon
I create these travel drawings in Brazil during two months of hitchhiking throughout the country in 2012. We began in Santa Catarina, up through Rio, to Brasilia and onward through the Amazon to Manaus and further. I was sketching much of the time, especially after I separated from Mayra.
