One of the best things about putting together every issue of Anthology is the opportunity the collaborate with talented artists and illustrators. In Issue No. 7, which is starting to arrive in stores and mailboxes, we were excited to have Lucy Engelman create a two-page map to accompany the article Strange Days. The piece details a California road trip taken by writer Jennifer Duardo and photographer Jen Siska. Lucy was able to capture the highlights of each of the nine locations they stopped at between San Francisco and Joshua Tree. Her amazing detail and fun style was a perfect match for Issue No. 7′s ”Wit & Whimsy” theme. (We’ll be posting an online preview of the issue later today!)
I was so pleased to see these drawings of colorful forests and mountains, as well as an overview of her trip to Northern California, on her website. It reminds me of the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountain range which is only three hours east of me. Wouldn’t it be great to take a quick weekend trip to the mountains, enjoy the outdoors, and see all of the poppies along the way in full bloom? I must also mention that her drawing of a certain alarm clock in the “Making the Magazine” feature brought a huge smile on my face. Mostly because of it’s awesomeness, but also because I now know who it belongs to!

I’m so glad you introduced me to this artist – her work is a joy & lifted my day :-)
These pictures make me want to pack up and go camping at the next possible moment. Very dreamy and idyllic feeling.
This is so adorable! I love reading this blog; I find the most inspirational things here! I got really excited when I saw UC Davis on the “I fell in love with northern CA” illustration; it’s where I go to school! :)
