Today a very close friend of mine, also studying art, came over to Manchester, and we decided to go and explore some of the galleries in Manchester for the afternoon. The most inspiring part of the day was finding this stack of beautiful vintage suitcases, in the Manchester Art Gallery. I feel that they will link beautifully in with my journeys sketchbook work. I am going to draw a collection of these objects and produce some expressive pieces, using water coloured paints, ink and fine-liner. It may also be a possibility to incorporate some actual luggage tags into the piece, to give a more personal touch to the pieces.
