Happy December 1st from London, loves 😍🎄🇬

Happy December 1st from London, loves 😍🎄🇬🇧✨👏🏼!! The Xmas decorations are just enveloping you here in the city and it feels like I’ve completed the circle in experiencing all 3 cities I drew inspiration from for my @Dogwood.Hill holiday stationery collection 🥰🎁. I haven’t posted on my main-feed at all from this trip bc a big part of me just wanted to be entirely present while here with the people I cherish so very much!! For anyone asking about my fave reccos, be sure to checkout the “London” IG story highlight I’ve been saving throughout the past week. I promise I’ll share more on here shortly. It has just felt so great to be fully in the moment. All my love xx MM

Just touched down in London Town…for the best time of the year 😍🎁🇬🇧!!!! I can’t believe it’s been nearly 2 years to the day since I last visited my soul city and all my friends here (who are like family to me 🥰). So looking forward to reacquainting with my fave spots and discovering new ones too!! As always, I’d LOVE your reccos for anything I must see & do while I’m here!! Any new exhibits, installations, restos? Leave them below and cannot wait to share this new adventure with you all xx MM

I’ve got Miami on my mind 🥳🌴✨!! With the cooler temps rolling into NYC (and Art Basel just around the corner) it’s hard NOT to dream of these technicolor, Art Deco buildings lining Ocean Drive in Miami Beach 😍. And with that, I’m sooo excited to share the final 4/4 animated illustration from this brilliant US through the seasons series I worked on this past Summer/Fall for #MarriottBonvoy!! We have a whole new collection coming up shortly that I cannot wait to share with you!! Until then, I’m curious to know if any of you have plans to travel before the end of year?! Would love to hear them below xx MM #MarriottPartner

The making of my Empire Holiday Skaters Wrapping Paper 🗽⛸🎁✨ for @Dogwood.Hill through the lens of TikTok 🤣!! I’m officially obsessed y’all!! I still have so much to improve on but even the awkward learning curve is fun. Watch and see how it all came to be and let me know what you think below!! All my love, xx MM

My mood today since the U.S. officially opened its borders to vaccinated Europeans and more after an 18 month travel ban 🤩✈️🎉!! That means I’ll finally be able to join Americans and Green Card holders in being able to return directly to my country of residence!! Thanks for finally acknowledging us tax paying, visa holders 😆.

And in other fun news, not only is my art appearing in #MarriottBonvoy ads these days, but so am I 🤭!! Swipe to see me at my happiest, swinging in the #RenChelseaNY lobby chair, feeling all the feels that partnering with the best hospitality brands in the world brings me!! So if you see my face on IG/FB etc, wave hello 👋🏼!! Holding on to every bit of good these days. #MarriottPartner

All my love xx MM

A lil sparkle ✨ to kickstart the new week! Thank

A lil sparkle ✨ to kickstart the new week! Thank you dear Sarah @slr85roses, one of my biggest supporters in the UK and longtime TWD community members, for sending a screenshot of this illustration to me this morning. She found it on my old blogspot blog, from my trip to Copenhagen a few years ago, and wants to have it made into a special print for her home 🥰. She’s got quite the collection at this point!

It was such a treat to rediscover this piece today. I don’t know how it slipped my mind all these years. Love being reminded how fun it is to work with gold leaf too haha. I’ll have to buy some more on my next art supply run. Oh and how about the fun colored outerwear inspo?! I’m secretly quite excited to be turning over my wardrobe for the cooler temps. Are you feeling the same?! Any reason to wear knee high boots and I’m down 😆.

Sweet dreams from NYC, darlings 😘 xx MM

Darlings!! Two Important Community Updates: 1. @Tr

Darlings!! Two Important Community Updates: 1. @TravelWriteDraw is now on TikTok 😆 and 2. This piece of art I created is currently the highest performing video ad on the @MarriottBonvoy Instagram and Facebook accounts 😱😩😭🎉!!!!!!

I hear that it’s hard to convert IG friends to TikTok. But I promise I’ll be offering some exclusive behind the scenes content over there (like this) that I won’t be posting on here (unlike this 😂). SO I hope you’ll join me there too!!

I have to say, it feels both equally exciting and terrifying to be building something from scratch again. In many ways it feels like the early days of starting my blog and my IG account. But being outside my comfort zone is where the magic happens. So let’s see, shall we?!

All my love xx MM

My Morocco Group Trip friends 🇲🇦, just 4 MON

My Morocco Group Trip friends 🇲🇦, just 4 MONTHS from TODAY we will be touching down in Marrakech to begin the trip of a lifetime together with @ModernAdventurists 😱🥳🎉✈️!! I can remember planning this trip with the team in the heart of the pandemic last year. Just talking about the adventure we were building together felt too good to be true. Almost a year ago to the day, we opened registration. Shortly thereafter the trip SOLD OUT. And now we are just a few months shy of departure 😭!! All I can say is WOW. I’m so beyond excited and so very grateful!! What a feeling to know we will join together so very soon in one of the most inspiring places on earth. All my love xx MM

Loves, it’s been almost a year since we launched the @TravelWriteDraw x @CASETiFY Co-Lab and seeing your pics with these products has brought me more joy than I ever could have imagined 😭💕!! Swipe to see some of the gorgeous snaps this community has taken over the past 12 months and THANK YOU 1 MILLION TIMES OVER for your continued support in myself and all things #TravelWriteDraw!! I’ve said this a few times before BUT I really don’t know what I did to deserve this incredible community of the most generous, loving, thoughtful, warm, compassionate, intelligent, joyful and ambitious human beings. I am because you are. All my love, xx MM

Paris Depuis Les Toits (Paris From The Rooftops) 🤩💕🇫🇷!! Inspired by the rooftop views from the Centre Pompidou and the stunning sunset we witnessed from our bedroom window in the 5th 🌹. This image has been haunting me (in a good way) for WEEKS!! I’m so relieved to finally get her down on paper. What do you think, my loves? Did I capture the feeling of being atop a Parisian Rooftop? All my love xx MM

Palais Royal Street Style 😍🇫🇷!! I’ve had this image in my head for weeks and finally had a minute between deadlines to get her down on paper. The Palais Royal Metro Stop is my favorite in all of Paris; meanwhile I lost track of how many French girls I saw wearing Nike Dunks around the city 😆. Felt like a lil piece of NYC made its way across the pond and landed in the quintessential French girl wardrobe. Swipe for a closer look at the metro stop that drove me bonkers while painting 🤪 and the original reference photo I took a few weeks ago!! Would you rock this lewk?! I can’t wait to see what other goodie artworks bubble up from this trip. More to come my loves!! xx MM

Fun with ink 🖋😍 #tbt since I’m currently navigating 4 commissions at the same time 🤪!! I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve filmed a fun process video like this.

Itching to find a window to create my new personal work series from Paris and also design a new class concept for you guys. I hope for now you don’t mind joining me on this lil throwback.

Any artists out there who can relate to the crazy juggle of commissions and time for experimentation? It’s a good problem to have at the end of day but I still wish I could stretch time 🤣.

All my love xx MM

I can’t tell you just how utterly surreal it has

I can’t tell you just how utterly surreal it has been to receive images of your purchases from the @Dogwood.Hill x @TravelWriteDraw stationery collection 🥰!! Even more so, the items from the Paris suite while actually being IN Paris!!

I still get all the tingles when I see your names customized on the top of these notepads 😭🇫🇷💕. Even though I worked on this border and repeat print design months before actually going, there’s not one thing I would add or change now that I’m back.

Paris marks you so irreparably, whether you’ve been once or 100 times. The inspiration never leaves you. Thank you for enjoying this collection as much as I enjoyed creating it for you!! Keep the photos coming, my loves!! xx MM

Ok, this is officially the last post from this trip. Farewell my beloved, Paris 😭💔🥀!! Until we meet again soon. Thank you for bringing me back to life, for reminding of all the beauty, love, and grace in this world. I cannot wait to return to you and next time for longer 🥰🇫🇷.

Lastly, thank you to each and every one of YOU for joining me on this journey. I’m so excited to be back with my art supplies to create from all this magic lived and loved. My head and heart are brimming with inspiration. Any requests you’d like to see me paint from this trip?

All my love xx MM
