Next on the agenda is Barcelona!! me and Len took a little mini break after the chaos of the group animation and went off to explore somewhere new and had a fantastic time. The weather wasn't great, and we had to do it on the cheap, but I would definitely recommend it if you've never been before. A totally inspiring city.

We spent a lot of our time there touring galleries and other cultural hotspots after we found a "where art thou?" map in a cool little nick knack shop. We found some brilliant local illustrators and designers and even got a invited to an exhibition opening on our last night there.

My definite favourite discovery was Conrad Roset, a local Catalan illustrator. The majority of his work seems to focus on drawing nudes, but his style is absolutely beautiful.

The first picture is of the print I bought from his exhibition for a measly 16 euro! I love a good bargain!





As you can see he also does some pretty sweet character design, I'd love to see some of these guys turned into toys or something.
