What is a workplace/studio?

Self-portrait 2006
Ilford print. Kodak BW.



I’ve had magnificent workplaces in the past. I just didn’t have the habit of taking pictures of them. I only took pictures of this studio which lasted from 2005 - 2007

The workplace is the place where I can feel. Where I can hide beneath secrets ready to be explored. Is the place where I can burst smiles and tears. Silence governs and music shakes my chest. The workplace is where I have my private meetings, is where I dress, undress and where I like to undress the loved ones, and all over again. My workplace has this ceiling which it may thinks is a sky because I stare at it and I look beyond looking for stars and whatnot. The walls are my favorite museum with prints of loved artists, favorite musicians, and admired politicians. It has dim lights (sexy lights) , white lights (work lights).This place protects my acrylics, markers, color pencils, brushes, tapes, 4 cameras, inks, more paint, all kinds of paper, cardboards and fabric. My workplace has art history books, lowbrow magazines, and taschen collections. It is the place where I wake up to write stuff at 3am.  Simba is definitely the king, among other toys like a terracotta Chinese soldier, the walking nigiri and the gay octopus.  The workplace is where I make my bright future. It is the only place that hears and sees all the stories I want to create. It is the only place that doesn’t deserve my weird smoking habits. It is the place that can witness my imagination running wild while I draw, paint, illustrate, sketch and edit wearing only my new lion king panties and socks.
I don’t have a room. I have a studio.

I love to see pictures of other studios. I recommend taking a look at this artists’ workplaces













I'm currently redecorating my studio. I'll submit a picture soon.

Recogiendo Tiburones Azules

Creo que es la continuación de "It Was a Blue Shark" 

Recogiendo sentimientos, deseos, sonrisas, etc.
Todito donde mejor se sienta.

6pm “Jugos Sin Azucar”



6pm “Jugos Sin Azucar”

El atardecer simbolizaba el comienzo de mi final del día. Los ventarrones de las 6pm me avisaban que pronto la podía ver. Me ubicaba en su ventana, donde le resumía mi día mientras tomaba de sus jugos sin azúcar. Donde con sus besos descansaba mis ojos, donde me envolvía en su cuello para derramar suspiros de tranquilidad y felicidad.

Screenprinting

This is my first screenprinting project. 
When I was in highschool I refused to take screenprinting lessons because I thought it was useless. Like photography (silly me) I realized this technique is amazing, as well as photography.

I documented the process.


The materials
The design.

I have to say something about theses inks. I used lithographic paint. The red paint is a pain in the ass. It's thick and messy and really hard to work with. The yellow paint is another pain in the ass. Due to its substance the paint is thin and transparent. It takes twice the time to dry. The blue paint is amazing, it's perfect overall. But when I made green paint the yellow took over this cool color.

So here's my 4 hours of pain with the red paint

Forgot to put the paper and I printed the glass

kill the red, kill the red

Linig up the artwork

Bloody red
Blue tryouts





Next day. Green



Finally done after so many hours


This is the result. :)


By the way, the illustration was based on "I shot Andy Warhol" movie. Great movie :)

Extraño tus gemidos en mi boca

My sketchbooks ( my babies)




The one on the top is the Mc Daddy of all of them. It's my writing journal. It was born in 2003.

The ones at the bottom are my drawing journals/sketchbooks. They were born in 2005. The last one on the right it's the one that I'm using now.

I love them all   :)

Es una mierda.



Ella dice: "perderte es una mierda"

Y ella le contesta: "como te perdiste fue una mierda"


Yes. Indeed.



I was thinking about adding sound to my illustrations without making it look like a talking clipart. So I used a little movement.

I hate it.

I'd like to search the ingredients to the "something" I want to create. I will keep working on this sound/movement/illustration.

I wonder if somebody is trying this.
