Such lovely sketches! It's the most different thing I've seen all week.
I love it when worlds meet. Flaneur has got a rich recent history, popularized by Nassim Taleb who's an active writer on the subject and related things. The heart of flaneur-ship is to retain optionality. Like a tourist who doesn't bake a plan because she sees more sense in deciding on the fly as new information comes in.

Thanks for a great talk on Substack Grow this eve. Also very happy to see you've discovered the joys of Le Flâneur. I've lived in Paris for 12 years and it's become an essential part of my life; my job is to flâner with folks and talk about history through the city. A few references if you're interested in the flâneur mythology: https://www.boshemiamagazine.com/blog/the-flaneur-and-the-flaneuse-the-culture-of-women-who-wander-cities + Edmund White's "Flâneur: A Stroll Through the Paradoxes of Paris."
Here's to the living the flâneur lifestyle. Paris awaits your beautiful drawings.

Loved the contrast in visual connecting 2 seasons. And finally I couldn’t take my eyes off the big visual story explaining Sonder.
Your stuff is like a breath of pure oxygen. Bravo!
Sonder is a great word! And I love the simple blue and yellow coloring on the initial sketches.
