From postage stamps to jetliner specifications to items he packed for the
journey, [46]José Naranja’s sketchbooks ([47]previously) capture minute details
of numerous international trips. “I’m lost in the intricate details, as
always,” he tells Colossal. Everything from currency to noodle varieties to
film references make their way into small books brimming with travel ephemera
and observations.
Naranja is currently working on a thicker book than he has in the past, which
is taking more time to fill, along with an illustrated card project called
2050, which merges science, tech events, and his signature “beauty of
note-taking” aesthetic. The artist has also reproduced some of his sketches in
The Nautilus Manuscript, a small batch-printed, hand-bound edition available
for sale in [48]his shop. Follow updates on the artist’s [49]Instagram.
