Plus tôt cette année, nous avons rendu visite à mon père skipper et avons fait du «house sitting» sur un autre bateau dans le sud de l’Espagne. Excellent moyen de voyager avec un petit budget! Les photos proviennent de Benalmádena, Torremolinos et Mijas, tous des endroits magnifiques et conviviaux pour trouver l’inspiration pour des projets créatifs, comme la réalisation d’une vidéo promotionnelle pour RJ Art. Nous espérons que vous les apprécierez !

Vie de bateau
Home, sweet home for a few weeks!
The living room, dining room and office space.
I yam what I yam, and that’s all I am! And I love spinach! Who am I?
View towards Fuengirola.
Doing laundry in public.
Watching laundry dry.
Classy guy on a boat.
Even the rain felt good in Spain…
Skipper Dad.
Skipper Dad.
« There is no such thing as waste »
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).
Fitting name for a boat like this: « Happy Days ».
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…
A small and quite functional kitchen to make lots of yummy veggie food.
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.
Age of Plastic.
After this we’ve switched to using thin fabric bags for shopping groceries.
One of the chefs in action!
Perfectly sized bathroom.
King sized bed! And no sofa, it was buried underneath. Good priority.
The office desk.
Dining room / office / drawing space.
Daily breakfast routine: Fruit salad with soy yoghurt, seeds and nuts.
« Our » street.
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 😀
Fishes! Skippers love them, they help to keep the boats clean.
Benalmádena puerto marina at evening time.
Another boat chef. Just enough space to stand on dad’s boat. For me that is, Jean got good training in bowing 😛

Parrot has flown.
Mijas
Welcome to Mijas, south of Spain!
Scenic views all around.
Ghost emblem.
Horses and their humans.
Pfff, grown ups…
Shadow sign.
Beautiful Mijas!
Mutual paparazzi shoot.

No stairs needed, you just jump up. Or?
Paparazzi shot of a lady’s legs and knitting 😉
Loved the blue pots all around.
Glimpse of a ride.

Eager photographer…
…and his motive…and his motive: Natural dryer.
Take the blue pill.
The sneaky photographer and his unknowing prey.
Not yet! Just sleeping…
DIY tree branch props.
Mirror us!
Lost in dreams of youth.
Shop signs.
Spanish tuk tuk.
Mountain chapel.
We found vegan tapas! 😀 Another great tip for eating out for vegans/vegetarians in Spain: Indian food!
Amor, Amor ! Tapas and songs.
Adorable streets.
Not the worst stuff created by humans.

The photographers hunting for motives.
Coloured camouflage.
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!
This inspired Jean and me to draw her something as a thank you.
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
Classy Jean drawing a portrait at the beach.
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 😉
Sleeping beauty.
Imagine the hatching at the right side of the face a tad bit more bold, and I’ll claim it’s not too far from the live version. Fun!
Jean made me a bamboo pen to practice calligraphy with.
Bambo pen and ink.
Have less. Do more.
All you need is less.
I can & I will.
Speak well of others, not of their faults.
Inhale love. Exhale fear.
What if…
Small things become great when done with love.
Hooray! It’s today {again}
Make this moment count.
