To me, airplanes are like bumblebees: at face value they “shouldn’t” to be able to fly, but they do because their ingenious designs challenge and expand our understanding of what is possible. As a result, both are miraculous.
Of course, in today’s world the miraculous can become mundane. Once a special privilege in childhood, airplane travel all-too-easily becomes simply how I commute for my business.
When I notice myself spending an entire flight immersed in a project on the computer or watching a movie, I do my best to stop myself and divert my attention to the world outside my airplane window. Whether we are zooming over the clouds or skimming snow-covered mountaintops, the fact that we can sit in relative comfort 30,000 feet above the world is pretty darn amazing.
So if it’s time for you to reclaim some of the magic for the mundane, why not draw an airplane of your very own and view the world from a different perspective? Here’s how:

Love this. My airplanes, for some reason, always look like dolphins.
Playful airplanes splashing in the clouds! :^D I like this idea of dolphin-planes, Eris!
