    Oh god wow I love this.

    I spend so much time in Paris and this inspired me to continue drawing all the adventures again.

    Thank you. Really.

      Same here, I just wanted to write that I miss discovering Paris in that way, the student routine (or any routine) can be so grounding and all-absorbing sometimes. And I haven’t even seen half of the great things in this city. Must continue wandering!!! in my case though it’s the absence of a proper camera that discourages from doing interesting walkings, not being able to picture some specific moments is so sad :(

    This is the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
