Frederick Boissonnas in Greece

Recently I’ve gotten sucked into learning about the adventures of several turn of the century (i.e., early 1900s) travelers in Greece. There’s some amazing writing and photography to be enjoyed! One of my favorite explorers was a Swiss photographer named Frederick Boissonnas who spent thirty years capturing Hellenic landscapes. Seems he was a bit of an Instagram-like social influencer with his dreamy photos of Greece. He helped create Greek tourism buzz back then. I decided to do a few drawings of him. The drawing of him on the crazy ladder at the Acropolis looks preposterous but here’s a link to a photo of him on the actual ladder. Please check it out. That’s a brave photographer!

Imagined Ancient Greece

I’m working on some imagined scenes from ancient Greece based on places Sam and I have been. And I love art done in nighttime settings, so here are some imagined moonlit scenes at the ancient theater in Dodoni, at the Acropolis, Delphi, and on Alonissos.
