Drawn The Road Again

Remember Chandler O’Leary? The globetrotting illustrator is still at it, traveling and drawing the most incredible visual stories that always inspire us to hit the road with Moleskin and paints in hand. Her illustrated portrayals of far out roadside attractions like Canada’s two ton tater tot, the world’s oldest gas station, and a mermaid restaurant at Weeki Wachee Springs prove that there is clearly so much more to see . . . right here in our own backyard.

    I love this! Thank you so much for sharing this. Digital is great, but nothing like capturing the moment in a classic Moleskine. http://relishingthyme.com/

    It’s so much cooler than making photos but I’m afraid my drawing skills are too bad for something like this.
