delivering










It's coooooold.
I went on Friday to see my friends Mel and Sam in The Biscuit Factory for a cup of tea and then have a look around in Newcastle. Oh yes, and also to deliver some prints for their Christmas show.

And on Sunday with Chamaco to Hastings to have a walk by the sea and stuff our faces with fish & chips and take loads of pictures of boats. Oh yes, and also to see some business in a gallery that exhibit his prints in there.

This life, so hard.

Machete in the window


It's Machete time. He is looking at people through the window of Rowley Gallery


Also, very soon, in a few days, he will be hanging around and on the walls of Macondo, in Hoxton Square, don't miss it and come and join me for a tequila or two. See the press release here.

photos


These are some of the memorabilia of Machete's life. The first one is a picture of him with his chum Johnny Weissmuller in Acapulco while they filmed Machete VS Tarzan. And the second one in a party with María Felix.

help





I feel stuck. I feel blocked. I don't like what I do. I have an exhibition hanging in two weeks and I just can't finish all the pieces. Nothing comes up as I want to.

It happens.

I've know of this method of unblocking the creativity through writing three pages first thing in the morning. I am now doing my version of this exercise through drawing three pages instead. Well... I drew just two today. He he. It suppose to be something spontaneous without thinking or planning, but I couldn't help it and I doodled thinking in the project this girl has been doing.

missing cats





Someone's looking for Sami and Raoul. And yesterday I was expecting some beginners in the class but instead this little one appear. I thought it was a leopard lost from the zoo.

shadow people



Some of my students and I went to the Barbican to see the Cloud Gate Dance Theatre and it was one of those things that stay in the eyes of the memory for days.

uff






Those were two very busy weeks. God! let's see... The Open Studio Show was quite a success even though I fell ill on the Sunday. Gastroenteritis.
Then Sami became very ill and ended up in hospital. Too fat. So, he's back to a strict diet.
My sister, in the meantime was here and so we tried, in two weeks, to see the most and the best of London. Difficult task.
So now, many things are waiting for me in the studio. Print deliveries, printing, more printing and other etceteras.

polaroids




Apparently, the last polaroid films are due to expire next month. What a shame! The gocco print, the polaroids, the dodo... extinction, extinction...
