Illustration Salad (for no particular reason other than to show them up)









Jumping out of my plié


I had this audition the other day,
it wasn't easy getting out of bed,
I stretched, chasséd, while getting dressed,
not feeling anxious for a single breath.


All of a sudden room serviced knocked,
"I did not order this soggy bread!",
"I'm sorry madame, won't happen again",
I slammed the door in his puzzled face.


I lost my mojo, now tell me what?
"Get back in bed!" the voices cried,
I wrapped myself in terrycloth,
and jetéd right back to my fluffy stage.

Master's Mystery Art Show (2011)

FIU delegate: How did you end up here?
Moi: one beautiful tropical day, I was minding my own business, as I always do, when opportunity knocked. She looked gorgeous! You should have seen her hair.
FIU delegate: Who?
Moi: Op-por-tu-ni-ty... Have you never met her? 
FIU delegate: and what did she have to say?
Moi: "Neo, you're the one"
FIU delegate: Huh?!
Moi: EXACTLY!
FIU delegate: How did you react to that?
Moi: I told her "You're crazy lady... now take your red pill and follow the white rabbit"... and so she did.
FIU delegate: and then what happened?
Moi: She started chasing after poor Snowball like a madwoman!
FIU delegate: Oh boy, why did I ask?.. And then what happened?
Moi: Well (I said, looking smarter than ever) I noticed the paper and t-shirt she had dropped and picked them up.
FIU delegate: and...
Moi: And I started painting on them (My smile shinned so brightly that any star would have been jealous).
FIU delegate: Can I see them?
Moi: Show me yours, I'll show you mine...


Kaleidoscopic t-shirt.
Let's get (just a tiny bit) serious now, because this is really cool: on Wednesday, November 30th the seventh Master's Mystery Art Show will be held at The Ritz Carlton South Beach (FL). It is one of the most interesting events of the Miami Art Season.

More than 1,000 original artworks are donated by artists and sold to the public for the fixed price of $50, to benefit Florida International University's Master of Fine Arts program. 
The Mystery is that the name of the artist for each work is kept secret during the exhibition, only to be revealed at the completion of the sale (drumroll...TA DAH!!!)

It would be fantastic to see everyone there, mingling and supporting the arts.
:)



I know... I'm already showing mine... don't blame the sinner, blame the sin.

"My take on the evolution of species" - A (mock) National Geographic interview.

In true Darwinian style, I started studying plants that yet not exist but will soon be around. If he studied the evolution of our past I have the right to study the future... right?




Here's an excerpt of what my interview with National Geographic would be like:


NG: So... you say you have studied the future of species? is that right?
Me: Of course, look!
NG: Yeah... Those look like doodles to me... are you serious?
Me: What do you mean? Of course I am. I spent hours playing with my watercolors, and I hate wasting my time (I smiled and sort of closed my eyes as I tilted my head up towards my right, like my answer was the smartest thing this man had ever heard).
NG: What scientific proof do you have that plants will evolve towards that level of personalization?
Me: Well... they need to do something about their boring ways or they will completely be replaced by holograms. I already threw mine away.
NG: That doesn't mean they will start behaving like spoiled pets.
Me: Yes, they can be very spoiled... and they will!
NG: How long have you been working on these botanical experiments in your lab?
Me: Lab?.. Nooo, that's the bar.
NG: So you have not been working on any botanical experiments?
Me: But I'm planing to (once again I smiled).
NG: Ok, thank you for your time, I am leaving now.
Me: Will I be featured in the cover? 


(Door slamming).

A little birdie told me...

We are all no one till someone thinks that we're someone...


 Until there we are no one.


Do you wear what you believe in, or do you believe in what you wear?


A non-sensical Friday. Gotta go back to my brushes... Ciao!

¡Covadonga, estas pingada!

- ¡Covadonga!
- ... (splash, splash)...

- ¡Cova!
- ... (squish, squish)...
- ¡Covadongadonga, estas pingada!
- ... (still no reaction from Covadonga)...
- A ver, a ver... a la casa Covadonga, que estas pingada ¡Covadonga! ¡A la casa!
- (Covadonga, dripping in chlorine-infused water, slowly walks back, dragging her feet in obvious disagreement with the instructions given).



Not Covadonga, this is Hanneli. http://www.hanneli.com/ ...................... This is Covadonga (up here).


pingar v. intr.
1   Colgar o estar suspendida una cosa: a ver si te arreglas el bajo de la falda porque te pinga por delante. Pender.
2   Gotear una cosa o una persona que está empapada en algún líquido: llovía mucho y llegué a casa pingando.
3   Brincar, saltar.
