Stuckism URGENTE!
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
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.
