The book portrays artist Allen Shaw’s journey as a travelling artist and sketchbook keeper for over 25 years. Encompassing travelogues from 20 different countries, it features the artist’s notes on sketching, people watching, using watercolours as a medium and mostly on how sketching has become a way of life. It glimpses into how Allen has lost the concept of a permanent home. It tells stories of distant places Allen has been to and called them home and of people he has met and called them his home. In Allen’s words, “I am the sketchbook, and you’re my song!”
