Maxwell Tilse knows how to mix art and travel perfectly! But don’t take our judgment for it, instead look at his adorable post card sketches. Currently on a backpacking trip to Europe, he does a postcard sketch of each city that he visits and they are drop dead gorgeous.
During his travels, he looks for places that catch his fancy and quickly draws a pencil sketch of the scene. Later over a hot meal and cold beer, he completes the rest of the post card – adding various layers of colors, emotions, and an occasional vintage charm.
