I made these drawings in Colca Canyon, Peru while resting my very sore legs from our long but rewarding hike.

Drawing of Cusco’s rooftops from the hills of San Blas

June 6, 2012 · by Todd · in Peru, Travel Art

While wandering aimlessly through Cusco, Peru‘s hilly San Blas neighborhood, the choice is pretty much just up or down. We choose to wander up and up until we come across a small terrace. Seats at a table. Coca tea. And…

Drawing of Cusco’s Iglesia la Compañía de Jesús

June 4, 2012 · by Todd · in Peru, Travel Art

The Jesuits of the 1600s sure knew how use a church to get all up in the face of others. Built to outshine the nearby Catholic church, La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús, or Church of the Society of…

Drawing of drinkers at a nameless Pisac bar

May 24, 2012 · by Todd · in Peru, Travel Art

After a long, hot day spent exploring the old town of Pisac, Peru, I persuade Lauren to share a beer with me at a nameless bar. At the next table, four men laugh hard and loud together. Their accents and…

Drawing of the produce women at the Sunday Pisac Market, Peru

May 17, 2012 · by Todd · in Peru, Travel Art

As we watched the sun disappear in quiet Ollantaytambo, Peru, one persistent hat vendor left their cart out in hopes of a sale. In the off season, no one came to buy. But when they do, this vendor is ready.

Riding the Machu Picchu recovery train

April 26, 2012 · by Lauren · in Peru, Travel Art, Travel Stories

As our Inca Rail train pulls of Machu Picchu town, I realize my hands are…well, they’re not clean. There’s Incan dirt under my nails. Also, my jeans are spattered with mud. My jacket is soaked through with the rain that…

Sketch at Machu Picchu

April 19, 2012 · by Todd · in Peru, Travel Art

After the intense hike up Huayna Picchu, and the harrowing rain-soaked hike back down, we got a respite of sunshine to sit and rest at Machu Picchu. So I drew it. Looking up toward the temple ruins between the rains…

A cebichería Sunday – Art from Lima, Peru

March 23, 2012 · by Todd · in Peru, Travel Art

The thing to do on a Sunday afternoon in Lima, Peru is sit around eating ceviche and drinking cold cervezas. These three fellows lingered at El Muelle cebichería even longer than Lauren and I did.

Inspired by Gaudi – Art from Barcelona, Spain

October 13, 2008 · by Todd · in Spain, Travel Art

When traveling around Madrid and Barcelona, I recommend bringing along your own talented architect who can help you fully appreciate the beauty of these well-built Spanish cities. Most especially, you can feed off the architect’s bubbling excitement at the chance…
