Thomas Schmidt, managing director of Sepia Design Consultants, is into making sketches and watercolor paintings of the iconic structures he comes across on his travels. He has compiled these images and notes into a book called The Bumbling Traveller. [PHOTO PROVIDED TO CHINA DAILY]

Schmidt spent a summer in Vail, Colorado as a street artist, sketching and painting buildings that he then sold to tourists in the resort town. He moved to Hawaii with the money earned, starting his career in hotel architecture and design before heading east to Hong Kong. While his day job is mainly about developing regional hotels and resorts' back of house, his side business is the Bumbling Traveller Adventure Series.
