Twenty-three miles from base, his local guide refused to go any farther. Bystanders warned of a large enemy force waiting up ahead, he reported. Captain Seth Thornton assumed the man was a double agent spreading Mexican disinformation, and ignored him. If his superiors had wanted someone stubborn for the job, Thornton was their man. Eight […]

Even though we can get to the other side of the world in less than a day, there are still places that resist becoming everyday. Over the centuries they have accumulated tall stories like Manhattan accumulates tall buildings. So pack your compass, reading glasses and imagination for a journey to sites of myth and legend. Here are ten places that are caught in the imagination more tightly than on any map.

Almost one billion people live in conditions that UN-Habitat classifies as slum households, out of almost four billion people who live in cities today. If the UN numbers hold true, approximately two and a half billion urban dwellers will be added by 2050 with a total estimated urban population of six-plus billion. We have come to understand that the majority of this increased urbanization will not result in perfect shining cities set in pastoral landscapes. Rather it is much to the contrary; if UN-Habitat predictions turn out to be correct, over two thirds of the new urban population, some two billion, may fall under UN-Habitat's category of a slum household, deprived of at least one out of five basic living conditions. Many of what UN-Habitat considers slum households are part of self-built neighborhoods, the result of informal occupation and construction. If two-thirds of our new urbanization will be largely the result of people building their own homes and neighborhoods outside of formal planning and processes, and close to one billion people live in these urban situations now this is not a fringe phenomenon of urbanization. It is mainstream urbanization, quickly becoming the majority - and thus the chosen title for this collection is Metropolis Nonformal.

Edinburgh is the picturesque capital of Scotland, affectionately known as Auld Reekie. Illustrated from the point of view of Calton Hill overlooking the city centre, this 10x10 inch print is made of 310gsm hahnemuhle german etching uncoated paper giving it a wonderfully textured feel to match the pastel strokes of the drawing. Sunset over Edinburgh It’s simple to watch a sunset over Edinburgh. One of my favourite things about the place is the seven hills around it, making it easy to get an incredible view of the city - and especially so at sunset. With light bouncing off walls and shining back from windows, it looks like a city on fire. Having lived in Edinburgh for over 8 years, including my formative student years, it has a very special place in my heart, which is why it was a no brainer to make it the first in a series of city illustrated prints. An art prints showing off some of the best bits of Edinburgh. This print shows off some of the best bits of Edinburg. With the Dugald Stewart Monument atop Calton Hill in the foreground, then the Old Town, North Bridge, the Scott monument, the Balmoral hotel in the middle and finally Edinburgh castle in the background. At sunset, the sky is ablaze with orange and yellow colours and the cloudy sky above has mixes of blue and grey.
