Reminded me of the times I have travelled. I do love to travel but when you are somewhere completely new you tend to view everything as interesting and exotic, in a way mythologising things that are possibly quite ordinary. You are trying to get value for your effort, hype things up a bit in your own mind, put some fantasy syrup over the clump of reality.
When I was looking at the tourists I felt glad not to be one. I was sitting back in a cafe having my flat white - doing a new piece of artwork on my Samsung. I was happy, content. The surrounding were familiar and bustling but I was focused on my creation. I was making a world of my own on the screen. Didn't matter where I was. I was exploring my mind and manifesting the vision using colours and shapes. I was being an artist in his element.
