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.

Sometimes you just know.

Jack, show me your stripes... What will you listen to, and why?

Enabler extraordinaire: Promise me you will do this... As soon as you leave the swampy lands behind, and feel the blood pumping from America's heart and its dry, dusty road you will play this guy.

I said "Why must I?"

I had heard the stories, seen White Stripes, but gave little credit at first to the why-should-I. 

Tim Burtonesque face with lone ranger voice. I'm sure if I were as lucky during my adventure to bump into a modern day saloon these would be the sounds that would fill the place.

You were right!

The strongest pillar in the world

Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be... Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before.

The Road Less Traveled

The most awaited day of the year is here! Or it was... yesterday.

The day was so full of action that I had to wait until today to post what is the most exciting starting point of this year so far. 

The Road Less Traveled is about taking yourself out of your comfort zone in order to expand your ability to absorb the world around you. So many times we rely on routine in our lives and move around the bubbles we create for ourselves. A while ago, without really noticing it, I decided to pop mine up. Months have gone by since I took this turn and it has been a heck of a creative ride. 

This idea is taken even further by opening the first window into what is the most thrilling adventure within the adventure: making public something so personal as it is the creative process (at least for this artist). 

The wonderful people of Kickstarter.com are hosting what will be my artistic project for this summer of 2012. Just in the first day 6 wondrous supporters have joined this adventure.

We love signed posters! - Nautica South Beach 2012

What is better than participating in a cause that encourages people to do something beneficial for themselves while helping others?

I know! Running, swimming and biking all along the beautiful Miami Beach in order to help St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in the fight against childhood cancer.

Thousands of athletes were part of the 5th annual stamina extravaganza named Nautica South Beach Triathlon last April 1st. Over $400,000 were raised for St. Jude, and that makes all of us very happy.

Once again, it was my pleasure to support the wonderful FedEx team with a commemorative poster for this year's event. We overdosed in sugar with all the pastries, cookies and what not that the team captain fed each one of the participants while they stopped by to say hello and take their signed poster.

In colored lines we shall swim.

Once there was a DJ

Who used to play some music
Great music
Smiths, late 80's and lots of New Wave
All to alleviate the stress caused by the late afternoon traffic
Warm, confidential voice
The city with the great green lungs
Déjà-vu filled afternoon
90's come back for a mere 5'54"
Humdrum university student lights up like a storm
Don't want to get home
Play me some more
