Simple Yet Sweet Camping Illustrations by David Rollyn

Illustrator and graphic designer David Rollyn doesn’t have to drive too far to find inspiration. Living in Oregon, he constantly explores the wilderness and then channels his passion for the outdoors into drawings. Time and time again, he focuses his attention to camping. As he states, “I love doodling little camping scenes. Ones that are really simple and make you think, ‘dang, I really want to go camping now…'” He even goes so far as saying, “There’s no better life than camp life.”

So what does he hope others take away from his mini masterpieces? “I love drawing something so simple, that you can’t stop looking at it. Even though there isn’t much there, you just want to keep looking at everything, every little bit. That’s what I always try to accomplish with my drawings.”

His moto, both in his illustrations and his life? Keep it simple. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Photo a Day Project: Day 13 of 365, Playing Outside

This past weekend, we went camping for one night at the Dripping Springs Campground in Temecula. On Saturday night, we got there around 8pm so it was too late to take my picture of the day! (We were busy putting up the tent and cooking up dinner.) I’ll make it up sometime. This photo was also snapped this past weekend. It’s the boys cruising around the neighborhood in their vehicles. Parker and Logan are getting along great these days, they run around and play tag, they splash each other in the bathtub, and they, generally, look out for each other. I hope that they grow up to be best friends (just like me and my sisters).

I also like this picture of them sauntering down the street. My boys are growing up too fast!
