Come to think of it, considering that the idea I was trying to convey was not escaping to a different place but getting a fresh perspective on your existing habitual stuff, a view out over a city would have worked much better. Oh well.

It’s true that I get a lot of inspiration from nature, but cities inspire me in a different but equally important way. You can expect more psychogeography-based strips and more stuff under the ‘urban magic’ tag in the future!

It’s interesting to me that you seem to associate the outdoors with ideas, secrets, imagination and so on. For me, rural environments are intimately tied up with the whole Sleep of Habit phenomenon. People work in urban environments, so they flee to the rural whenever they can in search of that particular feeling you can only get from wide, green spaces. But really I don’t see this as any different from collapsing in front of the TV. It’s what you do when you’re too exhausted for anything more interesting.
