The Travelling Artist – Why Become One?

Posted on January 25, 2012 @ 7:11 pm by massimo | Filed under: art,blog,fun,illustration,japan,news,people,wordpress

A lot of artists have a habit of travelling and using their memories and changing environment to inspire them to create new works. Travelling has an effect on any individual, whether they’re a watercolour painter or a retired accountant. Seeing new locations and learning more of a culture whilst immersed in it can change your world perspective, and an artist’s work is sometimes based around the same concept – helping someone see something from a different angle. But what are the benefits, beside inspiration? Well, for one, it may allow you to find the ideal location for your skills, from improving them to finding tools that will allow you to make the most of them. Gadgets in Tokyo could be great for anyone from a webcomic artist to a web developer who is seeking new tech to work with for a design on partypoker. Meanwhile, hunting for cave paintings could lead you all around the world, and finding them might influence your art style or lead you to create new works for a themed gallery event. This might sound expensive, but it’s worth the investment, and you can always supplement your travels by selling the art you’re creating while you travel, as people may enjoy seeing art created by a non-local. You’ll also make many connections with people in the art communities, which is important for when you’re looking to get enough publicity for your work and need the right people in the right areas to help make that happen. Lastly, you need to travel because it’s part of life! To stay in one place the entire time your alive seems like such a waste of your legs, of the world around you, and even if you don’t find anything that inspires you, you’ll come away with some incredible memories and a wider personal knowledge of the world, and that can never be a bad thing.

I myself am a travelling artist, and I have been travelling across the Mediterranean for a while now. It’s a truly fantastic climate, the locals are amazing…I was particularly impressed by Malta…in fact I loved it so much I don’t want to leave.

It is so inspiration, and there’s some great places to stay too. I recently stayed in this very charming hotel: http://www.hotelvalentina.com/en/home

The location too, is something to be envied! Buzzing nightlife creates a whole host of memories!

Great article, keep it up!
