Artist Documents Tender Notes Over Acrylic Illustrations From Her Travels on a Moleskine Notebook
American artist Missy H. Dunaway documents her travels across the US, Europe, Turkey, and Morocco with extreme romanticism and poetry. Dunaway illustrates on her Moleskine journal a beautiful scenery with acrylic paint from her time in a specific location, then autographs each painting with a sweet excerpt of nostalgia.
She often composes goodbye notes on her journals, as she bids adieu to each city. Each cityscape portrait reveals a tender thought or memory of heartbreak or a desire for wanderlust.
Some of the lovely anecdotes read:
“Standing in Asia. Looking at Europe. Thinking of New York.”
“I moved to Istanbul (alone). I’ve been looking out my window more than usual.”
“I’ve discovered I have the gift to feel at home jus about anywhere.”
“I’ll press you in a book.”
“I was staring at the blinking lights of an airplane and waiting for sleep when a shooting star passed across my view, clear as day. I haven’t seen a shooting star in a whole decade.”
We highly urge everyone to click on each image to read the stunning passages. You can find these notebooks and more of her original work in her Etsy shop.
It’s peculiar how some things can give by taking. The way plastic cups and liquor bottles provide freedom by removing memory.
