Work Ethic For The Focused Traveller 🗺📖⏱

Robbie Allen October 26, 2018

I think people usually associate somebody travelling or backpacking across a country, a continent or around the world, as someone who is on an extended vacation, or on a long holiday, which doesn’t involve much work if any at all. Of course that is the case for some travellers, especially if they have commitments to return to such as with work or study. But there are travellers out there, such as myself, who have committed themselves to study, work and development as they travel over much longer periods of time. .

The Importance of Thumbnail Sketches & My First Exterior Public Mural

Robbie Allen March 28, 2018

Less than one day ago I came back from the BTC Graffiti Festival in Candeais, Bahia, Brazil. I was lucky enough to be invited last minute, as an international artist and participate in painting at the event. I had never heard of the event before, and only discovered its existence and the fact that I was going to be attending, around 9pm the night before the first day. The whole 4 days went by really fast, and I had about 1 hour spare to try and prepare, sketch ideas and plan ahead. Actually it was more like 45 minutes.

'Bus Stop Sketching'

Robbie Allen May 19, 2017

This was a quick sketch of a man and woman I created on the Broadbeach South bus stop/tram station whilst I was waiting for the bus. They are thumbnail in size, as you can see the scale of them compared to my brush pen, and both sketches were of the real people I was looking at, at the time.

Perception of Time

Personally for me the year flew past. I am amazed with how quickly each week passes, I can't believe 1 year has gone by already. But I have been experiencing this for a few years now, not just in 2020. I think the main reason why was because I managed to dedicate much of my time to my art, study, and overall creative productivity, which helped me to feel elevated during tough periods. In 2018/2019 I was doing a lot of travel, combined with art practice, and this definitely seemed to add to the sense of acceleration of time to my own personal experience. 2020 was a year I was able to fully dedicate myself to art and further study.
