Digital nomads & navigating 2020 one drawing at a time
Michelle Turton
Illustrator, painter, and surface designer
While the 2020 global pandemic kept us at home, Michelle and a merry band of illustrators used Google Maps to revisit places close to their hearts. Meeting online they travelled from Japan to Peru, Hong Kong to Venice and many places in between; creating vibrant, fun and lively drawings of each location. Against the back drop of UK wide lock downs and Brexit deadlines they invited others to join them along the way. The Digital Nomad sessions proved to be a welcome escape and evolved to include the sharing of insights, travel stories, and friendship.
