if i were to write an autobiography, it would have to be in chapters grouped by airport codes, since that's how i look back on life -- anchored by trips and the divisions between them -- and i guess this would be the cover! this is one of a series of pieces i did for a project that i probably won't see in print until next year, and i just found out that they passed on this for another, so i can finally publish it here, yay! it is very timely because i had been feeling guilty for including YUL on this list, for i had only been there to make a connection, but i will soon rectify that with a proper trip to montreal! but for now i am back to the doodledesk because i decided to doodle my entire class guide for 21 Secrets: An Art Journal Playground and as usual i bit off more than i could chew -- it is quickly turning into a tome! good thing i love what i do, because for the moment i'm living it 24/7! hope you all are having a great week!

ohmygod. I am in LOVE with this.
I knew it was true...your life IS more interesting than most! :-)
I love your art--and Pattie T is right--this piece is really special.
I identify with you--'tis true. Life seems to be segmented by travel and trips. lol Thank you so much for sharing.
How exciting and wonderful to relive parts of your life like this. I seem to have only fuzzy memories!
LOVE it - so inspiring to see all the places you've been :)
Oooh, so much FUN! One place didn't want your twenties, another place did. And Rome on a weekend whim? Fantastico! Good luck with all that doodling!
good lord, did this take forever!? it's crazy cool.
Wow, you've been everywhere! I practically twisted my neck off trying to read the whole thing... Aimee - you are just THE coolest!
That really wasn't Ethan (my son) but it was ME!
I can't wait to see the class lesson then! It's all going to be fun.
I haven't flown since 1987!
I love this! It will take me several "looks" to really see it all. Very wonderful.
Wonderful, just how traveling makes me feel.
Amazing, as always!
Great artwork!
This piece is very inspiring, what a traveling free spirit :]
i can't even imagine how awesome the one is that they DID want. this one rules.
absolutely fab!!! and i love the idea that you're hand-doodling the manual for your class. hopefully at some point you'll sell it as a separate item for people who missed the class ;)
This is amazing, Aimee!!
My day job use to make me fly somewhere every week. Now I am involved with it so I get to come home every night. But this Sunday I have to fly to LA to teach a class, and since I haven't flown for almost a year, this should be a journaling adventure with all of the security changes! Thanx for stopping by my humble blog! Can't wait to see your work for 21!
how i wish i could go! can´t wait to hear about it!
loooove this one. but you already knew i was going to say that! move to spain so we can have coffees together... :)
MDW has a Potbelly for the win!!! One of the things I miss about Chicago the most!
that potbelly was a HUGE win -- it made midway respectable!
thanks everyone for the love notes! :)
you just blow my mind, aimee......and you make the letter geek in me just want to do a happy dance!! weeeee! a true doodle masterpiece, for sure!! xox
go aimee go! you'll get there!
Fabulous Aimee! I read every bit and I'm just amazed at your talent, as usual!
your travel history is quite impressive.
love the way you've paid tribute.
i am so thankful
for your life in the air
as it allowed
our paths to intersect
& HUG.
love this, dear.
xoxox
i don't how you plan all the lettering out, but it amazes me every single time... this page is an entire life's travel journal in itself. how much fun to read through every one of your stops so far ( i don't know why but i can't help but want to know more about Lisbon in particular)... :)
