This past spring, I had the honor of sailing aboard the Research Vessel Falkor, via their Artist-at-Sea residency program<https://schmidtocean.org/apply/artist-residency-program/>. I encourage all artists who can be away for 2-5 weeks to apply! I can say that the program is free (minus about $20-30 for extra travel insurance and maybe a cab ride), and the Schmidt Ocean Institute really cares about making your proposal a reality. My proposal was to create an illustrated map and travel journal of our cruise. That project can be found right here: Notes, Vol 1: Seeking Space Rocks<https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/abrianc/seeking-space-rocks-expedition-travel-journal?ref=910k6e> Please share this opportunity and project with others! I couldn't recommend the experience more.

I have compiled a brand-new travel journal, from my recent Artist-at-Sea residency aboard the R/V Falkor!
