Me by Paloma.

Because im painting in my house and spend most of my time here i have become the personal model of my girlfriend Paloma, i try to convince her not to take pictures of me, she knows i hate being photograph but she insist and is not like im really going to convinced her to stop.
Most of the time i look in photographs even uglier than what im really are,
and thats just the way i look in photos, nothing i can do about it
but sometimes and due just to the her remaining hope that i maight stop putting that weird face i get when im treath with a camera i come out a little bite better.

When i see a camera i freak out, one time someone so a video of me and told me i looked like a deer on the headlights... or something like that,i dont remeber well but i think is a common expression in english (maybe is spotlight..?).

I dont know what it means but im guessing is not the look you want to have on a video.

is time to kiss them good bye.

is hard to let go, you get used to it and im thankfull of being able to get people interested in my work and even tought im going to miss my panels (specially two of them that i was planning on hanging in my house)is time to kiss them good bye.
2008 is gone and im happy with how the year went,the best things besides paloma, the new house, our book (donde esta mi corazon?) , meeting hugo marin and seeing my niece and nephew up in utah was my first solo show here in santiago and getting all the comments and support i got.
so thanks to everyone that has bought some of my pieces, thanks to everyone that apreciated my street work (thanks to all graffiti writters for not going over my paintings)and thanks to everyone that made 2008 a great year for me and paloma.

some pics of the paintings from my last show.

the streets.

basco vazko.

after a short but intensive period of work comes a short but nice period of workless long days and sleepless night.
so i do nothing and see no one, i like this short periods of inactivity when i can read and read again my books, listening my records, ride my bike and go to my favorites places in town like el cementerio general.
random pictures for random days i guess...

SIEMPRE.

i read somewhere about photographs of paintings .... "but what is there? no the thing but a brilliant phantom of the real thing like a shrunked head is to a real head" of course it wasnt exactly that, my memory fails me sometimes especailly in summer.
anyway here some pictures of my show the day after the opening (it was a one day show)







(i will get more and better shots of the show soon)
