Barcelona. One of the best trips EVER.

Back when I was in secondary school, me and my best friend Becky took an art trip to Barcelona with the school. Whenever we look back at the photos we cringe slightly, it is crazy to see how different we looked. Our dress sense was indescribable, and the poses not much better. We took endless amounts of photos of paintings in art galleries, buildings, statues, anything that caught our eye, without knowing the meaning of what we were taking.

I am a big fan of street art, there will always be something quite cool about it. The fact that people don't care if they get caught, they merely just draw how they feel. It doesn't need to be neat and tidy, it just needs to have a creative edge and mean something to them.

Kind of like mine and Beckys relationship, we have both surpassed caring what people think about us. We both wear what we like (Good clothes now I can assure you),we both do as we please- yet we both have a creative edge. She has the better wardrobe whereas I have the better drawing skills!

I knew that one day the pictures I took of street art would come in handy, I see it as a new trend, such as using it in shops to form displays, some people even go to the extent of having a professional graffiti artist paint there room. Keep on drawing please street artists, your art is something else that inspires me.
