¿Qué estoy haciendo aqui? - se estarán preguntando, mientras yo extiendo la alfombra roja, les digo a los paparazzi que se controlen un poco, y los meseros empiezan a repartir copas de champaña.
Esta artista les quiere hacer una invitación super especial. En Junio estaré recorriendo más de 12 estados en carro, partiendo de Miami Beach hasta Mount Rushmore (así es, tengo una morbosa curiosidad por ver esas cuatro cabezas gigantescas talladas en la montaña).
Desde hace un poco más de 3 años tengo el antojo de hacer uno de esos viajes a los que llamo "plan sin plan". Sé que quiero llegar del punto A al punto B, pero en un recorrido que da tantas vueltas como una chupeta de feria de comiquita. Decidí que éste sería el verano perfecto para hacerlo, pero no quería que fuera un simple viaje así que decidí convertirlo en un proyecto artístico-antropológico y social a la vez.
The Road Less Traveled es una aventura en búsqueda de lo que no se me ha perdido, pero más que todo de inspiración, a través de la cual abriré una ventanota a mi proceso creativo y a todas las anécdotas que inevitablemente acompañan a este tipo de monstruos de mil cabezas.
¿Un monstruo de mil cabezas? ¿No ique se trata de arte? - Mi proceso creativo consiste en crear mientras consigo la inspiración para crear. Es como una ola que quiere llegar a la orilla para reventar, pero en la mitad de camino va arrastrando arena, empujando surfistas, mezclando pescados y revolcando niñitos.
Todo esto quiere decir que va a ser una GOZADA de proyecto, en el que estaré improvisando cada día y compartiendo a través de mi Facebook, Twitter (@JOJAPIPOSA), Instagram (jojapiposa) y Pinterest (jojapiposa) TO-DO lo que pase.
¿Cómo hago para formar parte? ¡Dime, dime, dime! - Desarrollar un proyecto de este tipo conlleva una inversión. Por ello decidí publicarlo en Kickstarter.com, para invitar al mundo entero a que colaboren a cambio de una serie de premios y de 3 semanas de pura acción.
Para entender mejor por qué quiero comer patilla en Mount Rushmore hagan clíck aquí. No sean tímidos, y envíen cualquier pregunta que tengan y la responderé.
Gracias a Yeei.com por la promoción a través de su recién estrenada plataforma :)

Who is Ines Silva? and, what was I doing at her studio this morning?
I couldn't pass this opportunity to be part of this artist's creative process, at least as an observant. Ines is in the middle of preparing the pieces for her first European solo show this coming fall. You can read all about her work when YOU CLICK HERE!
Ines, do you need my help?
LOOOVE the sketches! (wink, wink... hoping to get one as a birthday gift).

JohAlice in Wonderland
Some of us gathered last week for my unBirthday party celebration.
It was going to be a small, quiet affair, but it turned out to be a heck of a bacchanal feast.
I SWEAR I only invited one guy, but everybody showed up!!!
***When unexpected visual accidents like these happen, attention must be paid (and images must be shared).***
Have you backed this creative project yet? What are you waiting for?

Nothing is sweeter than venturing into the sideroads - #TRLT
In case you haven't heard, I've been promoting the multi-headed artistic project called The Road Less Traveled on kickstarter.
It will be the artistic adventure of the summer and I'm inviting everyone to join me during it. The Road Less Traveled is an art project turned adventure, filled with lots of improvising along the way. Creating while looking for inspiration in order to create is the process I usually go through. I have decided to open a window into this intimate part of my modus operandi and share every single step I take.
The concept behind all of this is to take myself out of my comfort zone in order to reach new levels of creativity. Sharing doesn't come easy to this artist...

Super Wallcast, Supermoon
(A collaboration of lyrics with No-Hint).
The fools moon by the supermoons
With a brigth side on your wide open eyes you bring us all apart by our own inner tides.
Silver platter serves us more
Deserving evening
Search your soul
Notes are playing while I float
Ground me later
Off I go
Tell me moon where we go ...should I play it as we go...
Leave me blind by the light that you stroke on us tonight
(The rest we won't share).

The Bamboo Wars
(Reported in real time).
What's with the chainsaw massacre?
We need to get rid of all...
But we'll be left with none!
I brought Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.
You don't live here anymore.
Maybe they just want a front row show...
Down lay the casualties of this war.

Welcome May
What is this obsession of yours with the months?, asked the gentle lady with the accent from far away.
It's not an obsession, sometimes you just know.
It looks like too many. How will you handle the mix?
They only make sense when in sync.
Ok, but how does it translate?
Sometimes ladies from faraway do not get it, so I decided to get up and leave.
