Introducing our new illustrated book (a work in progress)

– a unique visual travelogue of Istanbul organized by

the neighborhoods we’ve come to know in our own wanderings in the city.

 

It's not the Istanbul of glossy tours, but a more down-to-earth, maybe grittier,

yet always vibrant place, full of ordinary people and street cats

going about their daily lives, a place that never fails to hold a little magic for us.

 

Each chapter of the book opens with a hand-drawn guide map and lists of our favorites,

but what really define the neighborhoods are the moments that caught our eyes 

and inspired our artist's distinctive, lively, expressive drawings

– warm, funny, endearing, visually rich and always entertaining.

 

With wit, a sense of humor, and our pens, we're trying to capture the Istanbul as it feels to us.
