Everywhere Project

This summer I have travelled to Manhattan, Boston, Providence, Sudbury and all points in between.  Where have you been?

Seeing the Everywhere Project makes me want to hit the road again. Designer Adrian Walsh identified all of the locations mentioned in the song 'I've Been Everywhere', and asked designers and illustrators to create luggage labels for each of the 92 locations. It was written by Hank Snow in 1962, adapted from an original Australian version.

So many beautiful designs. I am proud to have participated in this collection. Here is my contribution:

Jellico lies on the Tennessee side of the State Border, south of Kentucky. A small stop just off I-75, a village by the wayside. I have passed through this area on numerous marathon road trips, a winding stretch of road surrounded by the misty Cumberland mountains.

I illustrated the cairn that stands on the state line between Kentucky and Tennessee.

Check out these locales:

So many places, so little time....
