Every day we find people using Paper in new ways to understand their world. One way in which they do this is by creating collections.
One creator documents her favorite restaurants by sketching the interior; another recalls the day’s events through journal entries; one creator uses Paper as a “digital representation of a messy desk” to flesh out ideas; while a graphic designer in Belgium experiments with elements of street art.
We came across this collection of castles by eichan68 today. From Swallow’s Nest in southern Ukraine to the Taj Mahal in India, these sketches offer a welcome mental escape to destinations most people see only once or twice in their lifetime.

Awesome effect achieved here by “scratching off” color.
“Círio de Nazaré is one of the largest Catholic processions in Brazil and in the world. About two million faithful join the Círio de Nazaré, which takes place in Belém, the capital of the northern state of Pará, on the second Sunday of October and honors the Virgin of Nazareth.” (via)

PermalinkWe recently discovered Colombianisms by Armando Garcia-Jacquier, a sketch journey through the streets of Colombia.
On his blog, Armando says:
I have recently moved to a small city in Colombia, west of Bogota, and while the change has not been easy, I have begun to look for ways to make my transition to this new place more pleasant. Looking on the brighter side of things, I have begun to find the beauty in the peculiarities of this land that is Colombia.
Armando’s colorful creations explore familiar institutions in an unfamiliar place (the juice seller, the ubiquitous snack vendor…), making each one feel like a postcard from a faraway friend.

“I’m a Graphic Designer. But have always drawn using traditional materials! The picture I sent to you was done on holiday at Easter in a lovely new resort called Martinhal in the Algarve. I’d forgotten my art materials so used Paper instead.”

“I recently moved to a small city/town in Colombia, west of Bogota. It has not been easy. This has led me to think of a way to make my transition to this area more pleasant. I have started looking into the bright side of things and tried to find beauty in the peculiarities of this land that is Colombia.”

Heita! Check out this lekker blog about the mother city. That’s ayoba!
For those of you not hip to your Afrikan slang, this is a very stylish blog down in Cape Town using Paper to illustrate shopping and restaurant recommendations. Marleen is spending the year in South Africa with her boyfriend, and we think this is an amazing way to document the experience!
