I visited Barcelona recently, 4 nights is not nearly enough to take it all in. I could have spent a week on the beach (and I'm not a "beach" person). I've been before, for 2 weeks, and even then I couldn't take it all in. There was more to see other than the art and architecture. I love graffiti, and I looked for pattern and repeats in buildings that I can maybe use to inspire me if I get on this short screen printing course (so I can refresh my memory, as I've not done it since uni due to not having facilities etc.) Unfortunately lack of time and money meant we were unable to take in as much as we should have, and the fact we had a lazy hung over sunday spent on the beach!!
There was alot of inspiration to be taken, I love Graffiti, so I was snapping up as much as I could with the camera, and there was a lovely wee tattoo parlour around the corner from our apartment called "medusa" and it was really nice and traditional, lots of dios des muertes style tattoos, and it sold wee accessories and such, plus they had an adorable pet boston terrier which I wanted to steal. There was also some really nice shop window displays that I loved. Hopefully this can push me to take inspiration and colour from it!
