Spanish Calendar 2011

i was absolutely in awe when i opened the box...

this calendar is my first licensed product, folks! it was released by Editorial Sirio, a Spanish publisher. a lot of people have asked me if i am selling them. unfortunately no; you have to go to their website to purchase one if you like. it is all in Spanish. i got very impressed with the quality and beauty of the product. really great stuff.

couldn't get the Twitter gadget to appear where i wanted it but that's ok. not sure if i will going to stick with this template, things seem a little too close together. will work on that later.

to the new followers, thank you. welcome to my humble home. to the old friends, sorry for the big gaps between updates.

have some stories to tell. be back soon.

In progress: Yemanjá [or how to be near a heart attack]

she was supposed to be in a exhibition that will open next month in Virginia, called "The Power of the Orishas" [model is my beautiful friend Iara]. when i got the invitation, i couldn't help but nearly scream with excitement. after all, this is part of the culture in which i grew up - the Afro-Brazilian culture, with all its magic and beauty. how could i get out? simple: by MISSING THE DEADLINE.

i think i have to buy a neon sign and hang it on my wall next time. it could save me a trip to the hospital in case of a heart attack.

still busy as hell. doing what i have to do. the design agency will be finally launched next week if i can finish all the website in time. and then i will be able to organize myself better and paint more (so i hope.) don't leave me, people. i'll buy you candy.
