San Gimignano, Italy - in the heart of Tuscany

Pompeii: ancient frescoes, not-so-subtle phallic artworks, fields of poppies, and breathtaking views.

Favorite parts of the Vatican: famous ancient Greek statue, giant ancient Roman pine cone, cute ancient Egyptian lion, drinking holy water.

the impossible return

[itslizvolpi]

Yes, I was one of those American tourists who invaded Europe this year - but I was nice! We visited Italy in May, and wow… the gnocchi and tiramisu I ate changed my life. I think about it all the time. Also, my nerdily obsessed-with-the-ancient-world heart still sings when I remember all the 2000+ years old shit we saw!! Everything about Italy inspires me and, as an artist, I’m like… what do I do with all this inspiration? How do I infuse my daily practice with my love for ancient peoples and pasta? I’m still figuring that out, but I’m enjoying this more exploratory season in my creative endeavors.

Anyway, enjoy the lettering I painted in this travel journal - and some other photos of Rome! Thanks for being here :)
