‘Travel by Sketch’ is a collaborative project between travel photographer Maxine Bulloch and part-time sketcher Edmund Walsh.
Wanting to explore how their two different mediums can work together, the series uses rural and urban settings from all around the world and re-imagines them using softly drawn, and in some cases painted, animals and figures to create something fantastical and magical.
An elephant comes face to face with a dog along a beach in the Scottish Highlands. A stork struts through the reeds of a water village in Myanmar. There is a girl on a trapeze in the middle of a forest and a cheeky little orangutang hanging from a blossom tree. There are two men: one lonely urban night time walker, and one accidental explorer hiking down a dusty road; and there is one elderly woman who works in the fields digging for a single flower. There is an elephant spraying water from his trunk whilst wandering through the London suburbs, and a flock of birds flying high above snowy mountains in the Isle of Skye. The little monkey who sits at a golden pagoda looking up at a snake is the final animal in the series.
