Progress: Series III








Series III incorporates ink splash on top of the lines. These too are just the bare backbone and still need to be completed.
Many thanks to Thomas Panico who showed me his splash techniques at the Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show this June. Check out his work at http://tompanico.webs.com/




Progress: Series II



They're not done yet - but they will be.
These lines are created in Chinese ink and will be the founding base of the calligraphy series themed "Lines 2009". Series II is more figurative than Series I.

da el mar el viento de la melancolía

sientes. eso que te empuja hasta el borde de tus límites. que cuando la cuerda ya no da más. y te quedas sintiendo como si todo se te amontona, los amigos desvanecen, los espacios, que un día fue lo que fue. fuerte. un viento que sopla, sopla sopla y sopla y no tienes soporte. un día cuando los fanaticos obsesivos abusivos locos cuerdos todo en uno. bolsa de basura imaginaciones carros rotos y pelucas desbordadas. me acuerdo esos cuentos de hada. cuentos para chiquitos, niños que una vez jugaron en el mar. da el mar el viento de la melancolía. un día soñé de las sierras tan moradas, Ayacuchanos y las sampoñas que cantan melodías de mis recuerdos. miré al señor que bajó llorando porque caminaba con cuatro patas, arrastrandose en la calle. cómo se siente? qué más da. qué más dará.

The Monkey is infamous!! Someone tried to steal it at our live painting show with Bodega @ The Note. Seriously?!
