A Doodle A Day…

As you are reading these lines, I am readying myself and packing my things to leave for Prague. I have been invited to participate in the Goldschmidt Conference to be their first artist in residence! What does it consist of? Well, I will be spending a whole week in a beautiful Central European capital mingling with geochemists — a very special breed of geologists — and also: I simply get to spend a few days drawing, drawing and … drawing!  I will be going to talks, sketching and portraying the people I meet there, presenting some of my artwork related to geological fieldtrips and most probably enjoying the view. I also intend to continue my series of cover illustrations of famous scientific journals posted here a couple months back, for which I will certainly find new inspiration in Prague among the 4000+ participants…

 

I will be publishing “A Doodle A Day. The Graphic Proceedings of the Goldschmidt Conference” on the conference’s blog & social media everyday. Come back during the week if you’re intrigued!

 

If you scroll down a bit you will see a couple of sketches I made in Prague’s old town during my last stay back in 2011. I remember being enthralled by the caryatids and atlantes carrying all the weight of the Czech neo-Baroque architecture on their stone shoulders. I am looking forward to discovering some more…
