Travelling Man

Amongst all the painting I haven't had much time to sit down in front of the computer and develop any of the images in my sketchbook.

This illustration is my reflection on many cultures and how descendants have travelled and spread their culture. Coming from a Jamaican family, partly of African descent, I strongly feel that [like many cultures] much of the Caribbean descendants are quite nomadic. People have travelled throughout Africa, to the Caribbean, to either the U.S or Europe and elsewhere. Gradually I believe that many have the sense to travel back.

I myself haven't travelled as much as I would like. But people spend there lives travelling, and as you do you bring various cultures with you; scenes, sounds, nature, and approaches to living. 

I once heard a tail the Ghengis Khan had a vision of collecting as many trees as possible along his travels to plant all on one hill.

On a different note, I have now acquired a new mechanical pencil!! I will be filling this with 2H led now as to replace my recently lost friend, and am going to create a new relationship with it this weekend.

I have also started reading Anthony Kiedis' autobiography which I do recommend.

I also just copped Earl Sweatshirt's DORIS album!! My evening has been confirmed!! I really think he's one of the artist who is reviving Hip Hop at the moment.
