Away

I’m about to embark on a creative project I have dreamed about for years. I’m going to go draw, sketch, paint and collage in cities worldwide–and rural areas, too. The next six months are devoted to travelling and creating.
I realised recently that there is nothing to stop me from doing this. I can budget my savings to cover the costs. My infrequent work as a freelance video editor, writer, and web monkey is not as valuable to me as testing my creative potential.
Perhaps I will get tired of being creative after six months of focus. If that’s the case, then I can go get a job in an office and earn a lot of money doing something dull. But I doubt it; this is an adventure with hurdles, challenges and unforeseen excitement. How can I possible get bored?
If you happen to be in Beijing, Chicago, Nagoya, Delhi, Agra, Pittsburgh, Paris, Shanghai, Adelaide, Uluru, or Brisbane, and see a the woman with a sketchbook sitting in the shade, it might just be me.
