Challenge 140: They Draw and Travel: North Pole

Tis the season for hot cocoa, ice skating, candy cane forests, gumdrops, lights and Christmas trees, toy making and sleigh riding! After a horrible year I couldn’t wait to do something light hearted and Christmasy. I hope you all enjoy this wintery wonderland and your own holiday season however you’re able to spend it. Stay safe and healthy, and here’s to this year being over and better days to come!

Challenge 140: They Draw and Travel: Coffee Shops of Logan Square

I was so excited to introduce this challenge! I had a project back in undergrad that we submitted to the sister site, They Draw and Cook, and I had such a fun time with it that I thought this would be a great challenge for Square Carousel!

For my map, I wanted to highlight my favorite coffee shops in my neighborhood in Chicago. I love trying new places to get my favorite drink, and something that really brought me joy during the worst days of quarantine was to walk down the street to try a new cafe. The cafe closest to me even has a walk-up window, which has been quite convenient during these socially distant times.

Challenge 140: They Draw and Travel: Illustration Isle

From the start, I knew I wanted to do something more fictional or conceptual for my map. I ended up going with a familiar route: the professional illustration process. 

Challenge 140: They Draw and Travel: Sweet’s of Columbia, SC

Sugar, Sweet, so Delectable to eat; a pleasure to indulge in now and again. All happily found in and around the sweetheart of Columbia, South Carolina. From cupcakes to milkshakes, even a little responsible over 21 alcoholic colorful drink. Food has a way of open us up and revealing that little kid in all of us. Here are a few of the lovely sweet trips around Columbia.

Challenge 140: They Draw and Travel: The Mind Map of Brett Morgan

So... This initially started out as a good idea... then everything that could have gone wrong basically did. Im still pretty happy with the finish though.

This was a pretty cool challenge and glad I had the ability to dive into something that looks a little different than my usual stuff.

My Mind Map! Boom!

Challenge 140: They Draw and Travel: Exeter, NH

I took this opportunity to try and re-do my map from challenge 103. I originally had planned to make this a wood piece but one emergency room visit and unexpected surgery later and I didn’t have the time. I’m actually still okay with the final result and I’m really surprised to see how much I’ve grown and changed as an artist even just in the last few years. While I much prefer working with physical materials I’ve found a settled level of comfort working in illustrator.
