I drew a lot of the street in Barcelona. The bin and the tree stump lived on the boardwalk next to the beach. I drew the planes when I was staying in a hostel in Biarritz, south-west France. I had them tattooed across my back in Barcelona by a guy who had a spiders web inked into his scalp. Across from the parlour was a stall that sold lizards and snakes as pets. My webbed friend spoke no english and my spanish was non-existent at the time, so I sat there in pain staring at chameleons and pythons wishing time would fly by. I drew the bin the next day.
