Exploration to the southern hemisphere..

So it has been a while since my last post and alot has changed.  I decided to pack my bags and come explore the lands of South America.  A dream I have always wished upon but never realised the possible reality of it.  Rather than constantly fighting for something to ´pop-up´in the U.K and my dream to job to come along, I decided to achieve another long held dream of exploring latin america and it´s diverse cultures and landscapes.  I needed to be inspired again, open my eyes to the un-known world and burst the little bubble so many of us become trapped in.  So I slaved away saving every penny possible back home in the countryside and one-day just booked my flight.  That was it, no going back...so many exciting places to travel too, experience...you must see this, you must go there, you must avoid that.  An endless list of possibilities and the un-known but an exciting step to a new chaptor in my life.  A chaptor of change, development, exploration and with absolutely no regrets.

First stop Buenos Aires.  I have been staying with family friends for 5 weeks and time has flown by.  I move onto the far south in a couple of weeks.  Whilst here I have been trying to learn Spanish, working on graphics worj for an Art School, exploring the city by day and night and the general tourist things one must see and do...but trying not to to act or look like a tourist.  Along the way I have already met some amazing people from across the globe and look forward to bumping into a few of them further upon my travels or later in life.  Below is a little collection of what I have seen and experienced so far...many more to follow.

A room with a serious view...

A hotel right up there on the top of my list of hotels I need to stay at...shame about the price tag.
Like a childhood dream staying in a tree house in woodlands surrounded by an amazing environment. Designed by various designers and architects to create unique external and internal cabins with incredible views. Please someone get me a ticket....








T-Shirt Design

Below is my first finished t-shirt design. It is not perfect and there is definitely room for improvement, but I am generally very happy with it. Ideas are based on geometry, blocks of colors and art-deco design. Initial ideas began when I was bored of continually seeing amazing graphic t-shirts made through simple printing techniques. It is not often that I come across different formats of implementing designs onto t-shirts. As a result I brought a sewing machine and have had a few 1-2-1 lessons on the basics of sewing and have then just experimented from there. I have many more ideas and will be making them soon.
The triangle in the middle with the map print on it, is a Timeless Treasure Fabric print, I found it in a fabric store and was instantly attracted to it.
Feedback would be appreciated.
