A visit to the north eastern wilds of China and we still can't escape capitalism's consumerist clutches. Also: I've launched a Patreon page! Link in bio.

Military propaganda in downtown Harbin #china #sketch #watercolour #sketching #travel #latergram

Beijing diaries: to be read to the strains of Blur's Parklife. #park #china #diary #comics #travel #travelsketch #watercolour #ink #beijing #journal

Downtown Harbin from our hotel room in all its kitschy glory. The Russian influence is best felt in the chotchka shops running down the pedestrian main street and sporadic signage... #china #tourism #roomwithaview #ink #travel #travelsketch #inktober2017 (at Central Street, Harbin)

Splayed across two soft sleeper bunks on the Beijing-Harbin night train en route to NE China and the Russian border for the weekend #daytripper #livesketch #travel #bunk #china #nighttrain #travelsketch #pov #inktober2017 #watercolour #ink

Don Cerpa, our jeep driver to the remote rural area 3 weeks ago where the reintegration camp for demobilized FARC guerrillas in Meta has been built, 2 hpurs outside of Vista Hermosa, Colombia. He said all of 10 words the entire time and drove like a bat out of hell down mud-slicked country roads that have been brutalized by floods, lorries and landslides. #latergram  #portrait #sketch #sketchbook #colombia #travelsketch (at Beijing, China)

Bombing down a non-descript whitewashed corridor straight out of a Bond baddie's lair in a souped up golf buggy minutes away from missing connextion in Guangzhou #travel #latergram #airport #plane #sketch #sketchbook #china #jetlag (at Beijing, China)

En route to #Beijing via a 16 hour flight over the north pole from NYC. Pleasantly surprised by The Big Sick and Wonder Woman. #livesketch #passengers #portrait #travel #sketchbook #flight #inktober2017 #packtlikesardinesinacrushdtinbox (at Beijing, China)

The Pablo effect (aka why a cabbie in Medellin would have an Escobar sticker on his rear view mirror).Translation: "As a Colombian, I admire him. He did whatever he felt like! That man finished off half of this country! He was famous around the world! I think I'd get along with that guy. Like he Mum used to say, "he had his reasons". More than 20 years after his death on the rooftops of Medellín, Escobar's spirit still looms large around the city, though it's still shocking to talk to the young Colombians like this taxi driver who revere his megalomania despite being well aware of the horrific body count (including police officers and civilians) he left in his wake. #colombia #medellin #paisa #boceto #latergram #portrait #escobar #work #driver #taxi #comic #interview
