Calaveras... now all that is left is to put some color


I have to remember...

I shouldn´t do anything I don´t want to do and I do not have to explain my life to anybody.

15 blade


As in Nip-Tuck I had to take the cardboard piece out of the mold, so I cut the skull side to side and at the time all I could think about was saying 15 blade..get it, no, nevermind. I brought today my alebrije piece to my teacher, he did not seem too exited about it, but at the end he said it was cool and that I should go to his house, that he wants to show me some books, he said I had this major Oriental influence... I´ll go some day... soon I guess. Laura did not show up, I was keen to see what she came up with..

cumple

Cardboard skulls


Now I am learning how to make cardboard skulls, and from there I can do whatever I want made out of cardboard, mine I think is going pretty well, it will have a mask, I chose the mask of a child... hopefully it will work... I bet my shrine for the day of the death is going to ROCK this year...

This is Laura

Que trabajen los pobres, yo soy rico

So today was pretty cool, I went to my class at the MAP and everyone brought their work, the wannabe did not come, so I now strongly belive she was a wannabe, the couple brought some beautiful earings and amazing calaveras made out of cardboard, another guy also brought calaveras, and the one that makes the boxes brought some pictures of this kind of long wood angels and some luchador paintings, pretty cool. But the coolest was the 45 y-o woman, her name is Laura Hernandez, she is a well known artist in Europe mainly, she has three exhibits next month in Switzerland and Germany, she brought pictures of her work and an amaizing exhibit with gigantic heads made out of cardboard, it took five years for her to finish that instalation, and now is working in a new one about toys known all over the world, is so big that she had to rent a studio 8 meters high, so her things and machines could fit in, she is also working with specialist in lightning, sound, and architects, and she invited me to her studio, she gave me her business card ( she started painting on a piece of paper and then she put her name, phone number and e-mail address, how cool is that, of course I will save it ). Well the point is that she liked my work, at first I thought she was being polite but no, she actually like it, she gave me some advise and encourage me to work non-stop, she said she saw something in my work and that I have a great future, but I need to keep working, first for myself and make like 100 pieces, to take all my work from my walls and then start to fill the walls again. Said that 30 is a perfect age to start doing this type of things. She said she could have been rich already but she wanted to keep doing what she wants and not what the galleries want, she said LET THE POOR PEOPLE WORK, I AM RICH, and it is sooo true, I am rich too, I have been born with Cain´s mark, I am rich.

THE MAP GANG

So.. this Monday I started a new course at the MAP ( Popular Arts Museum ) it is called cutting paper and it is given by Jorge Rosano, the guy whom I take my photos to frame, I have always like his work and when I saw it displayed at the museum I purchased one of his pieces before they get to expensive for me, anyway, this courses are meant for people who makes handcrafts, I don´t, and I don´t know If they will charge me for the course yet. Mr. Rosano was very happy to see me there and keeps repeating this to me at least 3 times a day, which makes me feel shy, I am not use to the attention, and he seems to mean what he says.
One of the guys that takes the course with me, makes this boxes with little luchadores or teiboleras inside, similar to the ones that I had animated and that are showing in my web page, he has some monochromatic ones that are amazing, there are three guys ( two girls and a guy ) that make jewerly, one of the girls was wearring a pair of earings made of chaquira, it was suppose to be a bat, it look like a pixelated figure and that gave me an idea.. I will tell u when I have something done... the guy seems to be her boyfriend and the other I guess is just a wannabe, ( maybe I am wrong, but she will bring her work tomorrow, then I will be sure ), another guy makes thinks out of cardboard like skulls and diablitos, there is always a Mrs., this one makes repujado, pretty chesse, well I don´t like repujado. And the last one is the most interesting a 45 year old woman who decided at the age of 15 that she will not be needing her primary, high school or any other type of certificate and she just destroyed the documents, she works with cardboard in a big scale and she also paints, I will get to see her work tomorrow, she says that everything has an owner, meaning that everything she does or paints have to find its owner, and then she will sell it and let it go like fathers let go of a child. The piece will find its own space. It is cool to hear this people talk, I will take pictures and introduce them to you.

the reason

When something bad happens, people say that there is a reason why that happened, but can u really tell what was that reason, I mean If you go back and analyze some of the bad things that happened, do you really know now what was the reason for that bad thing to happen.. I can´t ... so I guess THE REASON is another way for people to say YOU WILL GET OVER THIS. So there is really no reason for bad things to happen to you. Is just the way life is. Life is not wise is just like a human being makes looots of mistakes.

Hair cut

It seems that everytime that there is an unpleasent experience or a big change, one looks for a physical change and the easiest one is to get a hair cut. I haven't had an unpleasent experience or a big change but I have a new hair cut, but not because I asked for it but because of the hairdresser. It is extremely short, and I dont like it, however I will take it as a sign for a big change, god knows I need one.
