portrait

CV:

Allan Shaw wurde 1973 in Indien geboren und lebt in Berlin.

"I am a Berlin based illustrator and storyteller. I have a passion for travelling and recording my journeys in my sketchbooks. These travelogues are essentially pen and watercolours sketches with a few words sprinkled in. My quest for discovering new places, cultures and people through my sketchbooks has taken me from the majestic heights of the himalayan range in Leh to the rice fields of Wajima in Japan, from the sun soaked beaches of South France to the small islands of Croatia, from the grandeur of Gaudis architecture in Spain to the colourful people of Kutchh. From the nearly postcard perfect landscapes of Switzerland to the streets filled with history in Poland. From tracing the ghosts of the communist past of Hungary and Russia to quaint little villages in Italy. From painting themes from a quiet little German city called Erlangen to covering the mood of Berlin. I hope to continue travelling and sharing my stories through my sketches."
