missery loves company


Right now I am going through a huge dilemma... I want to go back to colombia
My mother wants me to stay until i finish my masters ... I want to leave after my bachelors degree ... So what to do !? If I leave i wont be able to come back to this wonderful country for many years.... but for that time i could travel the world!! go to all those places I always wants to go to ... but its so hard.. this would mean for the second time in my life i will leave everyone and everything i loved for the past 8 years and go back to colombia and then embark my self into a new adventure.. so what shall we do!? . . . . . .
..
Heres some new art
A drawing to let some of my feeling out..

el problema

El problema no fue hallarte,
el problema es olvidarte.
El problema no es tu ausencia,
el problema es que te espero.

El problema no es que juegues,
el problema es que es conmigo.
Si me gustaste por ser libre,
quien soy yo para cambiarte.

Si me quedé queriendo solo,
como hacer para obligarte
El problema no es quererte,
es que tu no sientas lo mismo.

Y como deshacerme de ti si no te tengo,
Como alejarme de ti si estas tan lejos,
es que el problema no es cambiarte,
el problema es que no quiero.

El problema no es que duela,
el problema es que me gusta.
El problema no es el daño,
el problema son las huellas.

El problema no es lo que haces,
el problema es que lo olvido,
El problema no es lo que digas,
el problema es lo que callas.

Y como deshacerme de ti si no te tengo,


Arjona is amazing ... his poetry n songs are some of the deepest i heard .. & yet another chiva
this one is dedicated to you ..

e.e. cummings



I picked up this little book on the street the other day
95 poems by e.e. cummings
Heres one that reminded me of this painting I been trying to finish ..

because you take life in your stride (instead
of scheming how to beat the noblest game
a man can proudly lose, or playing dead
and hoping death himself will do the same

because you aren't afraid to kiss the dirt
(and consequently dare to climb the sky)
because a mind no other mind should try
to fool has always failed to fool your heart

but most (without the smallest doubt) because
no best is quite so good you don't concieve
a better; and because no evil is
so worse than worst you fall in hate with love

-human one mortally immortal i
can turn immense all time's because to why

-e.e. cummings

Mas Chivas

Workin on the Chiva Model for the HUGE ONE!! VEry exited
These are the pieces i got to cut yesterday in the Laser cutter and now i gotta assemble the whole thing & paint it ...





ALso Wed night i stayed at studio mad late and got another chiva done


A little singing song lyrics that are swimming in my brain..
Margot and the nuclear So and Sos

I did a horrible thing to that girl
I bread my misery and drowned it in her
And she got me high
And I hardly noticed there were tears in her eyes

And I miss you less and less everyday
This stream of whisky's helped to wash you away

ART FOR HAITI

hey everyone!

I think we are all very much aware of what is going on in haiti right now ... and i think as artists, film makers, musicians and humans we can try and do a little something to help! so heres my idea an ART PARTY TO RAISE MONEY FOR HAITI!!!
I got a few artist friends to donate some of their work for this cause and sell at an affordable prize and what ever money we make will be donated to the RED CROSS HAITI RELIEF PROGRAM
This event is a great way to meet make, meet some artist, drink some wine and make some money for a good cause!
the art work will be displayed around the apt and hopefully people are gonna be coming in and out to hang out drink and chat and buy some art!!! please come and help support this cause and get your art work out there!!!
FRIDAY FEB 12TH 6 PM TILL 11 PM!!!
come by and invite pple you think would be down to listen to some music! buy some art and hang out!!!!
hope to see you all here
there will be a 1$ donation at the door
abrasos lala!

Enough


"I wish I was enough
I wish I was the one
I wish I could show you the world
I wish I could take you to places you never been "
El May

Today was a pretty wonderful day
i got my pieces cut in digital sculpture, we run into some problems but the result was wonderful
After class we went to THE KITCHEN a place you all most know about!! feature a dramatic reading by actress Lili Taylor of Kelly Sandoval’s short story, How to Win in Reno,a screening of a short video by multimedia artist Neil Goldberg & a musical performance by singer-songwriter El May who was magical! It was pretty cool we got to talking to her and i got to give her one of my pieces & we picked up her cd !
please take a listen to her music it was beautiful ! & enjoy the new stuff
abrazos
