Like many others, I was tied to home during the 2020 and '21 lockdowns in the Netherlands. I decided to travel using Google Maps and draw interesting buildings I happened upon. To give myself a bit of focus I decided to travel along the Mediterranean coast. Every time I found an interesting - often ill-kept or derelict - building, I drew it using indian ink and nib pens.
