Earlier this year, I quit my job in New York to travel the world and explore human connection through art. It's allowed me to rediscover the power of quiet observation and play with analog forms out in the field.

Experiencing different cultures across Europe and Asia made me realize that we're a lot more similar than we think. This observation led me to document people (and animals) from different cities going about their daily lives, posting one sketch a day @friends.and.neighbours. I’m 125 days in and don't plan to stop anytime soon!
