I wanted to share this super cute collaborative piece The Everywhere Project. Designed to pay tribute to the classic folk song “I’ve Been Everywhere”, a select group of designers and illustrators are invited to create luggage labels, each reperesenting one of the 92 locations that appear in the American version of the song. Each artist shares their take on a place they’ve been, have connections with, or a place they only recently learned about.
The description of the project s featured on the website, saying “The song was written in 1959 by Australian songwriter Geoff Mack using Australian place names. It was later adapted to North American (and a few South American) locations by Hank Snow in 1962 and it hit number one on the country music charts. It has since been recorded by many artists including Johnny Cash and Willy Nelson.”
The project is curated by Adrian Walsh, a designer and illustrator based out of Southern California.
