Laos Book - Mother's Beloved | Project 198 Books

The coolest part of having drawn Laos in the Project 198 Books is that I've visited this country before, so it reminded me of my backpacking days around the country.

198 Books, Oman

Livro do Omã – Earth Weeps, Saturn Laughs | Projeto 198 Livros

O que mais me deixou feliz de ter sorteado o Omã em terceiro lugar nesse projeto foi o fato de que, justamente no dia do sorteio e alguns dias antes, eu estava acompanhando os stories do Anderson Dias do perfil @196sonhos no Instagram. E adivinha qual país ele estava visitando naqueles dias? O Omã. Pra… Continue reading Livro do Omã – Earth Weeps, Saturn Laughs | Projeto 198 Livros
