Looking Up With Vertical Horizon

Vertical Horizon

Here’s a reminder to look up occasionally! I love these particular photo series of Hong Kong buildings from Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze – it’s such a simple concept, looking up instead of ahead, but he took these pix with such artistry you can’t help staring at them, the colours and shapes are amazing! Here are some of…

I saw these lovely tower illustrations by Cheism off Hejorama recently, and the bold bright colours really spoke to me… I love the way the various towers from each city are layered on top of each other, and the detail is stunning! Head on over to Che’s website to check out his full portfolio, or…

Hotel 08

So if you’re not up to speed on things yet, things have been a little slow around here because I was super busy! One of the major festivals happening in Singapore in the last 2 weeks was the Singapore Arts Festival, and while I admit I’m not much of an artsy sort in my every…

This year’s Singapore Arts Festival may be themed ‘Our Lost Poems’, and revolve around finding things which are lost to us, and rediscovering the overlooked and mundane, but there are a bunch of programmes that I think would be great for Occasional Travellers out there to attend! Whether you’re a local or a tourist visiting…

Mapping the Void of Jerry Gretzinger

Mapping the Void - Jerry Gretzinger

So I was poking around Hejorama and came across this video which is just truly mind boggling. Jerry Gretzinger: Mapping the Void from gregory whitmore on Vimeo. Imagine creating a world in your head, so detailed and wide, and then mapping out that place into a giant world map of sorts? You’d probably appreciate this…

Hidden Worlds in Books

Guy Laramee

Imagine taking all your old books and creating these arresting and totally wanderlusty visions out of them… I love how Lords of the Ring-ish these book sculptures look! I would totally love to put them in my bookshelf (and perhaps put a Geografia globe next to one) and dream about my next trip. Check out…
