The Silk Road
These drawings have sentimental value and were drawn from life. I spent six weeks travelling from Chengdu in China all the way to Tashkurgan and back to Beijing. Winters are cold in China and this trip was done through November when the air was crisp and cutting. I was fortunate to meet some amazing locals whom let me stay with them along the way.
