Ashby s place met and interviewed artist Marianne Benko in her studio at The Hague, Netherlands. Originally from Hungary, Marianne s art is unique in both its technique and output. We first met Marianne at an exhibition in Brussels and are proud to showcase her work as a main artist for the European Driving Escapade. Make sure you check out her profile in the book and snapshots soon to come on Facebook and the website.

The European driving escapade had the pleasure of visiting beautiful Amsterdam! We visited top Chinese restaurant, Nam Kee and sketched up some imagery of the bustling atmosphere. We visited the Van Gogh museum as well as the super modern Stedelijk museum. A highlight was seeing Van Gogh's (Bedroom).

Feature artist, Brett Ashby sketched up a few ideas for the gallery showing Melbourne and Minoli James and co got to work on sketches for Spitalfields.

What a surf culture! Being Australians we were interested to see the surf life on the coast at The Hague. A very cool place with an excellent set up for all surfers, if you get a chance to visit, definitely check it out. Another sketch for Spitalfields done! Make sure you visit us in London and check it all out at Spitalfields art markets, 29th Nov - 2nd Dec.

Linking art, illustration and small business on a global scale, all starting with the European Driving Escapade!
