TheyDrawAndTravel:線上手繪城市地圖作品分享平臺是一個基於地圖的手繪作品分享平臺，由Nate Padavick and Salli Swindell兄妹創辦，你可以發現你感興趣的一個城市的手繪地圖，也可以動筆畫一個自己喜歡城市的手繪地圖上傳到網站與大家共享。
不同的旅人在同一個地方會看到不一樣的風景，不同人對一個地方的認識和印象亦有所不同。想到什麼就去做，不要認為你想的太荒唐，這個世界本來就是你的夢，在夢中你可以創造翅膀
“They Draw & Travel”的網站在短短3個月時間已經收集了過百副色彩繽紛的作品，從倫敦，巴黎等大城市到遠離煩囂的希臘小島都收錄其中。網站支援定製成海報或帆布畫，不過只限運送到美加地區，想買就要靠朋友啦。
They Draw & Travel was created by Nate Padavick and Salli Swindell, a brother and sister design and illustration team who have been working together for over 10 years as Studio SSS. They have created hundreds of magazine and book illustrations, thousands of greeting card designs, and, of course, many super cool illustrated maps!
Salli, a recent “empty-nester” lives in comfy Hudson, Ohio with her 4 crazy kitties, and husband, David. Nate lives in Bennington, Vermont with his boyfriend, Jim, and their 4 bicycles.
Nate and Salli have a passion for travel that definitely qualifies as “wanderlust”. They draw inspiration from new locales and come up with some of their best artistic creations while on the road exploring!
You can follow Salli on her personal blog, ManicExpresssive and see what Nate and Salli produce together as the design studio, Studio SSS.
They Draw & Travel is a sister site of They Draw & Cook , which contains the biggest and best collection of illustrated recipes anywhere. Nate and Salli were blown away by the creative energy artists worldwide pour into their recipe illustrations, and they realized that artists have similar passion for their favorite places to live and visit. They launched They Draw & Travel as a place for artists to express that passion, and for readers to discover their creations.
Each map is one-of-a-kind, highlighting off-the-beaten path sites and activities that are local favorites. You won’t find anything like this in a guidebook! Whether you’re planning your next trip, reminiscing about places you’ve been or dreaming about places you want to go one day, we hope you’ll find They Draw & Travel inspiring, useful and FUN!
The artists whose work you see in this website are a varied and talented bunch. Some of them are professional illustrators and practicing artists, while others are passionate doodlers and drawers, and a few have only recently begun to draw. A special thanks goes out to all them for joining in the fun and helping turn They Draw & Travel into a treasure trove of creativity!
