El Ocultismo.
Its been around 3 months since i started to work on my upcoming show here in Santiago, at Sala Cero of Galeria Animal (that opens the 8th of July)
Happy as i am with the way this new 30 pieces are coming im getting streess, im leaving to Paris at the end of this month to paint a 5x5 mts pannel as part of a group show there (im painting both size... so is going to be a lot of work and i probably wont see any of Paris) and i will get back here only one day before the opening of my Evas show, just in time to run to the Gallery and paint the name of the show in one of the walls.
im lucky my friend Manuel is going to take care of setting the show up and besides im going to paris! i never been to europe and the best thing is that im going with Paloma.
So i havent leave my house this last 3 months, i paint all day, and when i need air I go to the Cementery on my bike.
El Cementerio General is my favorite place here in Santiago, its like a minature city with small statues and churches, amazing graves and tall old trees.
but what i really enjoy is the way history lays quietly in this place.
you have Salvador Allende's grave just two minature blocks away from the Military ¿Mausoleum? (no idea how to writte this) then you have the little Jew part and some random buildings like the Italian one or the abandoned Teachers Mausoleum, (i guess the dead teachers got tired of the view)
The Caffarena grave some piramids and even some projects (really, cheap small graves one on top of the other where hundreds of dead people are jam together)
and no chances of running into someone there, no one alive at least, its always empty.
is the best place for times when you feel like practicing El Ocultismo.

Photoshop!
out of all the photographs i took in the 3 years i lived in the states, all the places i went to, people i meet.... all i have left is a CD with no more than 20 pictures.
all of them at low resolution and ugly photoshop abuse (i was learning photoshop on my own as you can tell)
good memories, no pictures of anything.
this are the photoshop collages i used to make with my pictures.

Nuevo peinado.
nada mas relajante que tener a una amiga haciendote trenzas en la cabesa por hora y media, de verdad.
es como un masaje pero en tu cuero cabelludo, ojala mi nuevo peinado durara para siempre pero no... ya se estan desarmando.
trenzas por ROXY!!

Cosas Viejas.
going trought some old pictures i ran into this old pieces i had done back from the year 2001 up to 2003 here in santiago.
Im surprised at how many pieces i did back then, i have hundreds of pictures of pieces from those 3 years of spending most of my time going out to paint and i know i didnt photograph everything i did back then , those were my most productive years on the streets i think i wasnt doing exhibitions or paying rent so i had all of my time and money for painting walls.
is just me or this last five years have gone pretty fast?
this one i did on 2002 just ten blocks from my parents house where i was living at the time, the girl on the picture was one of my best friends and the half of kid you see on the left is gabriel who know owns the tatto studio im painting a piece for.
this one is from a year later but near Gabriel's old house in Vicuña Mackenna.
and this one is from 2001 like four blocks from my grandmas house in Independencia. it was feature in a graffitti mag call No Gratos
(otherwise i wouldnt had any record of it ) and i think it was one of the first time i saw one of my pieces on a mag and it felt great.
Mostly because up to then i was treated like an asshole by writters and because this mag was own by the most important graffitti crew ever i got some respect after being included on this magazine second issue and then a full interview on issue 3 (maybe it wasnt like that but i have always think of this mag like the one that gave me some street credibility ).
and this one used to be my favorite back then, i still like it i think.

Do You Remember The Time ?
I was a Maikol fan, i even did a Michael imitation for a school show when i was a little kid.
my father spray painted a white glow we got with silver paint and me and four classmates practice for weeks trying to get all the moves right.
i dont remeber wich song we did but i remember that night we felt like little Maikol's on stage.
The other night we spend hours with Paloma watching Maikols videos on Youtube and it was so fun he dances so damn well, of course Paloma was a fan too and loved the Dangerous album and that Maikol look.
If you ever liked Michael Jackson you can understand how fun is watching this video and sing a long .....you and me in Spain, what about, what about bruuuuap tatata purruap ta ta!!!!!!!!!

R. S. F. T. D.
Tino pretending he is running in front of his painting that its also pretending he is running - my pretty pretty girl wearing my Morning Breath favorite tshirt.
taking a bath ( by Paloma ) - Lomboy's calendar picture.
Ñoko key - Vasco key.
Young le Blokis in front of his painting two bloks away from my house - palm trees in downtown Santiago.
I just found this amazing picture taking by my girl in a Sebo cultural, almost two years back in Sao Paulo, a Sebo is like a small cheap store that usually sales books and records.
I love this picture, the boy looking at the records on the right is me.
