Une Historie: Delightful Illustrations by Marc Majewski

Une Historie: Delightful Illustrations by Marc Majewski

We’re delighted by the whimsical work of French-born, Berlin-based illustrator Marc Majewski and in particular his recent children’s picture book titled Une Histoire. The story is an ode to the imagination and daydreaming and takes the reader on a joyous journey by way of endearing illustrations spotlighting Majewski’s passion for color and light. As a child, the talented Majewski discovered his zeal for drawing and painting through the pictures of Gustave Dore, Quentin Blake, Lisbeth Zwerger and Symbolist painters just to name a few. We are so impressed by Majewski’s ability to portray real-life scenes with such detail, emotion and sparkle. Scroll below for a peek inside this talented young mind and the inspiration behind his beautiful work. Also enjoy his Instagram feed for more smiles.

Explore the Golden Thórsmörk, Iceland with Marina Weishaupt

Explore the Golden Thórsmörk, Iceland with Marina Weishaupt

We are exploring the Southern part of Iceland today with photographer Marina Weishaupt. She is from Germany and truly a passionate about nature, animals, and environment. She finds her true passion being on the road and exploring the remote secret locations of our planet. It’s a beautiful motto that few of us have the chance to accomplish and even to explore such locations. We are following her on her journey to Thórsmörk, Iceland; situated in the south between the glaciers Tindfjallajökull and Eyjafjallajökull. I personally haven’t done it but I heard it’s one of the most popular hiking areas in Iceland.
