Art for Blackmago

2011-08-01T14:50:00.000-07:00

A box I did for Blackmago's contest (that link will lead you to the details).

My idea was to tell what happened after Blackmago was able to capture the Obbscura inside a Pandora like box with the help of his friends. If you see this and want to give constructive criticism, I'm more than happy to read it :)

If you're curious, I used an empty habanos' box with temperas and a gold marker (I haven't barnished it yet, I'm trying to get a spray one to not damage the temperas :P )

I forgot to tell...

...If someone is reading, that I got rid of that curse like 1 or 2 weeks after posting the previous entry hehe.
Might have been I was really busy with lots of work.

Have a nice day.

I should post more and more interesting things too... hmm

La Cupula - Copacabana

2010-12-08T16:08:00.000-08:00

I went to Copacabana in Bolivia, had a nice time there, and stayed at a very cool hotel named La Cupula.
The sixth i returned from a long walk. Went to climb "el calvario" which is a mountain there, then to a trip in a boat to the flotant islands. And I met a dog (the one on the pic) comming from the port, I pet him on the head and he followed me back to the hotel. When we arrived he went to one of the hammocks on the garden where a young tourist was lying. I was worried he might get scared, but he sat down and started to play with the dog. That was nice to see.

The place is really nice to visit and get relaxed. I enjoyed it a lot, felt safe even when I went on my own. If you go to Bolivia, I recommend this hotel, and Copacabana.
The pics are of the view from my room, and the lovely mutt.

* I think my previous entry wasn't really telling enough things to find someone, and as time has passed the curse has dissolved :)

Autumn!

2010-04-25T16:30:00.000-07:00

Yesterday my lips started to part, dry weather means the start of autumn!!
Finally it'll be cold, and oranges will start to appear and also mandarines (tangerines?)!
I can see how the trees start to lose their leaves, leave the trees leaves! haha. Even when trees don't lose much leaves here, they still lose some and I can step and crush 'em, the lovely krsh sound they make. Happy happiness.

Today

2010-04-24T16:48:00.000-07:00

Today I was wanting to finally update my site (start would be more accurate lol). But well, let's update here.

Lately, I've been allowed reality to suck me, I haven't been drawing or writting or doing anything because I just felt tired. But life wanted me back with all my weirdness, crazyness and randomness since it had been sending me messages.
I read a book I didn't want to read because a friend told me to, haha, how influenciable I can be, but well, the book is "The House of the Spirits" by Isabel Allende. I'm not sure if I liked it (I'm not much into politics), but what i liked was Clara, one of the main characters, there's a part that says: "... ella no creía que el mundo fuera un Valle de Lágrimas, sino, por el contrario, una humorada de Dios, y por lo mismo era una estupidez tomarlo en serio, si Él mismo no lo hacía.", a rough translation would be something like "... she didn't believe that world was a Valley of Tears, but, on the contrary, a little joke by God, and that's why it was stupid to take it seriously, if Him himself didn't do it." I sometimes don't know why are we here, but I'm sure we are not supposed to live for work, but work should be there for us to live, I don't really like to know all about politics and such, and if not knowing much about it is living in my world, then I totally prefer my world or the moon, lol.
Another message was sent to me through Matthew Gray Gubler's site ("Criminal Minds" actor), gublerland !! I totally got carried away by this odd site. But it's good oddness everywhere, the creativity just entered my mind and exploded inside making me feel all colorful on the black canvas I'm sometimes (like his site haha). I totally recommend visiting it because it's an entire experience I can't explain with text, haha.
And as I've been reading life messages, I found another one on the movie "Yes Man" . I think I need to say yes a lot more, I'm too hermit sometimes (I enjoy my being antisocial, but I still need to do a lot of things for myself). And I'm a chicken too.
Those were the messages I found in ways I enjoyed, but there was another one that comes in ugly ways, at least ways I don't enjoy at all. The way to work and back has got more impossible by each day. The traffic just kills my nerves, and it feels as if there were 10 more cars each day. I've seen one ugly accident, a bus (public transportation) with people crashed against those security bars that are next to the road (dunno the name), it looked like there were at least two injured people, I didn't peek much. Then a SUV almost crashed against a little truck, the next day, a mini van hit the brakes with a loud screech! and a spin of 90º, luckily nothing major happened. And I almost die as a sandwich, since a car crossed the highway in a forbidden way and suddenly stopped on my path, I was going too fast to be able to stop, so I still don't know how i made a slight turn to avoid it and pass without hitting the "donkey hole" and the car that was on the path next to mine, I really can't explain it better lol.

Well, this is starting to get too long. I hope this will make me start updating more often (I hope at least once a week), but I want to start drawing again so I might post some thingies over here :)
If you've read it this far or not, I hope you have a lovely day and color invade your soulds.

I love colors *¬*

absurd

2008-05-09T20:03:00.000-07:00

Isn't it absurd that even when I know it isn't there I keep going to look in the same place over and over again?
*hopeless*

French class

2008-02-01T12:05:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I had French classes, and for a special time we had to cook.
Never expected to have such a chaotic and funny class :P
We were divided into two groups, one group decided to do "churros" and my group decided to do "Quatre-quarts" (french cake).
At first all went well, every one was working on the dough of each preparation, we put the cake in the oven and the others started frying the "churros". I was a bit worried cause that oven is very old and you can't control very well the temperature, but I hoped it'll be good in the end.
We were chatting happily near the kitchen, when we suddenly heard a noisy "pop" and right after oil was all over us. One churro exploded, making the oil jump like crazy over all of us (I luckily only received a bit on the neck). We ran to wash ourselves, and I hope the others that received more oil don't have blisters. But apparently we were all fine so we started laughing.
After that it was time to get the cake out of the oven, and what I found wasn't nice. I think the oven was too hot, because the cake sides and base got burned, but when I cut it, the middle was raw. I was really pissed off, cause I've had practiced doing that same cake at home twice before doing it on classes, and I always succeded. Anyway, we ate the cooked parts (tasted good, lol).
We left after that 'cause classes were over, still laughing because of an unforgettable experience.
This pic is of the cake mould after taking out the rest of the cake.
