Looking For Lu Together!

Explore the world through art and history. The Looking For Lu Postcard Membership is a monthly art subscription from Trailbound Sketches. Your membership directly funds filmmaker and watercolor artist Max Romey’s global quest. He is retracing the footsteps of his late grandmother, Lucretia "Lu" Romey.

Lu left behind a legacy of over 100 field sketchbooks containing 6,000 hidden paintings from her travels across the globe. Today, Max uses those sketches as a map. He tracks down the exact locations where she stood decades ago to paint the same changing landscapes. By joining this exclusive snail mail community, you get an intimate front-row seat to this generational scavenger hunt.

🎨 What You Receive Every Month as a Member

• A Monthly Fine Art Postcard: Receive a beautifully printed monthly postcard shipped straight from Anchorage, Alaska (between 15-17th of each month). Each card features original watercolor art tracking Max’s adventure—from the glaciers of the French Alps to the brown bears of Katmai, Alaska.🌱

• The Story Behind the Sketch: Turn the card over to read a personal field note from Max.

• Fueling a "Paint It Forward" Mission: Your support keeps our extensive library of watercolor painting tutorials and live art streams free and accessible to everyone around the world.

• Early Access To Monthly Shop Updates: As a little extra thank you, subscribers will have early access when we add new physical items to our online shop (Example: We have a special custom sketchbook releasing in October 🦊).

🌱If you choose the printed postcard you WILL also receive a digital copy, too. It will be distributed via email in a way that does not spoil the surprise.
