Textures of the Oregon Coast

“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life – and travel – leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks – on your body or on your heart – are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.” — Anthony Bourdain

If you haven’t seen his show, No Reservations, on the Travel Channel, I highly recommend it. I have been a longtime fan for years now. Its a unique blend of creative travel visuals, exotic food exploration, and cynical commentary from Anthony Bourdain…..a chef turned travel writer and story teller.

I know this image I created has almost nothing (alright….. absolutely nothing) at all to do with the commentary here, but its what I had on while sculpting this piece last night. Kinda helps tell the story……

I love these textural images from time to time. With the help of a few texture files from about 4 or 5 other artists, I was able to add a bit of new life into this scene.
