Location Independence Maps

This blog and the community I've met through Twitter are a great resource for a mobile, modern life.

Last week I was working from The Artists Place in Thonburi, the oldest part of Bangkok. Here's a map; the new skytrain stop of Wongwian Yai is just down the street, but prices are the same:



...and this week I'm working from White Lotus Press, staying in the guesthouse and sharing meals with the eccentric, charming publisher. It takes a rare person to discover and publish all these old works on Asia - we've had some delightfully long-winded conversations.

If you're ever in Pattaya, Thailand, feel free to stop by; they're happy to have visitors. It's definitely off the beaten track:



Next week I'll hit the beaches of Eastern Thailand with ink and brushes in hand, ready to finish the illustrations for my new book, The Paper Apprentice.

"The Paper Apprentice" - you need a subtitle, because I don't think that one really tells the whole story, or the story-in-a-nutshell, does it?

@MEB: It's got one, but as the research isn't finished and the manuscript hasn't even been begun, I'm not making it public yet. :)

Elizabeth, this is so exciting--you are an amazing woman and I sometimes yearn to be you!
