Friend of the Illustration Department and Parsons Alum–Illustrator Ingo Fast–spent almost a year traveling around the world, illustrating the whole time. When he got home, he relaxed a little while. And then set out once again, this time for thirteen months! Recently, How Magazine featured an article about his journeys and work; you can read the whole article here (just use the small arrows at the bottom to advance pages). You can also see images from his travel here and here.
Fascinating stuff!
