Earlier this year we visited my skipper dad and did “house sitting” on another boat in south of Spain. Great way to travel on a low budget! The photos are from Benalmádena, Torremolinos and Mijas, all beautiful and friendly places to find inspiration for creative projects, such as making a promo video for RJ Art. Hope you enjoy them!

Boat life

Our home number two while in Benalmádena. Dad’s friend Karim kindly let us live on his boat for free while he was home in UK (dad has previously done some work on the boat).

Some vacuum cleaning isn’t the worst to do for work exchange! Far better than the place we tried first, an organic fruit farm/retreat to be, that so far didn’t have a toilet…

As in France, it’s not so easy to find vegan options when eating out while in Spain, so we had most of our meals “at home” (also nice for our budget). Good thing there are plenty of quality fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds to be found.

Little did the passing tourists with a dream of “one day” affording to live on a boat know that we were merely a couple of penniless and happy artists giggling at how wonderful life can be 😀

Creative projects

We got two full bags of free lemons! Why? Because we asked a very kind and generous Spanish lady if we could get a couple of lemons from her beautiful lemon tree. She even insisted on picking them for us!

Here’s Jeans’ drawing for the generous “Lemon Lady”, who happened to have her birthday the same day we dropped by and asked for lemons. She’s the kind of person that restores your faith in humanity <3

Using markers as a tool is new to me, and I had fun doing a more cartoon-like style. Think this is how Marvel would have portrayed Jean 😉
