This is such a fabulous story and I have just come across it. I am in contact with John and will share it with him. I am so glad you connected with his drawings in such a deep and meaningful way. I hope his map gives you much joy far into the future!

I’m glad you like it too. I should have mentioned that I never would have actually gone out and done that if not for Thorsten. He’s the best 🙂

I love it too! And then went to find the places. Another great adventure for you and Thorsten!

The best kind of art!

There is always so much to appreciate just under one’s nose, if you care to make the effort to explore. It is so wonderful the way you promote the artists. Well done.

Yeah I’m so glad we did it! I feel like we wouldn’t have if we’d put it off for another day — it had to be right then.
