So much to stay but little time left, and I wonder, where are you going?

Stuckism URGENTE!

creditos

I’m not complaining about Colombian's art, cause i saw the same shit back in the states, and i see it everyday on art websites, blogs, news etc…

Seriously, wassup with this shit… I don’t wanna go to a so called art exhibition and see sand poured in chairs, dead birds floating around, an old car in a small room….what?

where’s the good art, where’s the illustration, where’s the meaning,where’s the technique, where’s the chemical, the manipulation, the lighting? the handmade shit?

disappointing.

I’m leaving some links for you to read

Gum Printing FAILURE

gum printing FAILURE

So i was trying this new printing method that caught my attention.
Gum Printing; which is basically Arabic gum and ammonium and the sunlight as my light source.
I used an old 4x5 negative, green watercolor, regular white cardboard. It was a complete failure cause:

1. clouds were blocking the sun all the time
2. maybe the cardboards needed another layer of the solution.
3. my ammonium mix might have been too weak.

Overall it was fun, i love this method, but i need a stronger light, so im probably gonna bet a uv light box, if not, then i will try the potassium mix which is the same thing but it's sensible to any light.

Nattie Gone Gone

Ya no es tan chevere como antes. Entonces aqui va una ilustracion que significa que "naturalmente" ya no dibujo a NG como antes, tan seguido, tan intensamente, tan bonito. Nattie Gone entrara al batch junto con Montaña e Ita en los portafolios olvidados.

Y...

Ojala llegue alguien rapidito a mi corazon para dibujar o fotografiar :)

Inknotized

Inknotized

Model: Diana

I've got to say that this was an intense proyect. I had to put down my perfectionist thoughts and desires to try something new and challenging, and then Diana made it so much easier. It seems that i can't stop thanking her, so my apologies if I ever get annoying, just to sum it up: I'll always be grateful to her.

Nuevo Release Mental

Nuevo Release Mental

NOW i think i have a big reason to replace this old and loved selfportrait
If i print this [original size ( 56 x something inches )] then i would definitely list this photograph as one of my favorites.

I'm just trying to love me a little bit more, and the head-shaking exercises are working.

btw..... 96% edited/manipulated

i sing off happy tonight

oh...and please, click to fullview....this thumbnail is annoying, AND give feedback, c'mon...

my questions about photography

what's photography?
seriously...
is photography the exact moment in which you snap a picture?
or is it when you edit it?
perhaps photography is when you print it....
so, what's photography?


comparing this to human behavior:
what's life?
is it when you make a mistake?
or is it when you try to edit it?
pherhaps when you accept everything and move foward?

Liar Liar Luscious Mouth on Fire



Liar Liar Pants On Fire is a phrase that children like to scream at each other whenever they think the other is lying. They also like to scream it at adults who tell them stories about fairies. It is an overall stupid thing to say.
