Here are some more drawings from my two Nairobi trips this year. Enjoy!
I have been travelling a lot this year. I have been to Nairobi (twice), Boston, New York, Caen and Switzerland. I have watched everything worth watching on planes and had my fill of boring airport terminals and security checks. In all of this travel, I have been drawing constantly. In terms of visual inspiration and impressions, no place is like Nairobi. In all of the hectic madness that fills the streets and the vibrant textures and colours one encounters, the overwhelming sensation is life at full volume.
The drawings below reflect a range of experiences witnessed on the streets in the informal settlement of Mukuru and in other areas of Nairobi and Mombasa. Some are reconstructions from memory but all are real, seen and felt. Enjoy.
