I have spent the summer, somewhat globetrotting! as well as taking in the culture of different countries, I spent my holidays applying what I have learned during my first year at uni.
Firstly i visited Maramaris in Turkey, a popular holiday destination for the 18-30 age range,
but instead of just drinking and partying, due to the lessons learned since last september,
I have been going around with my eyes open!
Taking notice of such things as Turkish architechture and cultural art, the patterns and colours of the buildings, furnishings, surroundings and other aspects of everyday life far taken from my own in Manchester.
Not long after returning from Marmaris I again left British shores for a Family vacation to Jamaica, Negril to be exact.
Although I have been there before many times, this is the first time i have been there with my eyes open as an Illustrator, ready to take in everything! for once I felt that I was looking rather than just seeing.
Jamaica was a far cry from Marmaris, where one destination is heavily populated and dense with cultural significance, I was able to take in a much more laid back life style in Negril and appreciate the landscapes and open spaces as buildings were very simple so i tended to concentrate on my natural surroundings.
As I am still to filter my holiday photos and pick out the ones that I feel back up what i am saying, best
I will keep this first blog, back very minimal.
As time goes on and I get back into the swing of blogging, There will be more and more for you to learn about me and appreciate.
So...thats where I am upto for now and I will leave you with a photo of a favourite moment from my recent travels!
My next blog will have alot more to report, photos and works inspired my travels!
Thanks for reading
