i guess it will be fun to write down what was in my head eveytime when im sketching this nonsense ...

''eye balls tired black tears looking like those plastic oil refill black tears black facial moles like the one near lips sexy marilyn black dots like a black pearl necklace oh burgers produsing hair and scarf raping around the old dude with glasses a librarian..holding on to other's head of mind going down i play card card that tells the future fufure that's like the tree branch not know where it will end..but keep walking walking but not to forget to cut your toe nails thinking about you you you the sweet strawberry short cake 'such a pervert' stick together cloud of home i was staying in ''

umm. was just watching this low buget Australia movie ..about a girl who had kissed her mom's boyfriend, run away to another town,met a guy in the bar, just followed whereever whoever she meets, sleeping around,met a boy, looking for place to work and stay,met the boy again, but he's so strange..something goes and comes the time for her to go home. a winter journey of a little teenager girl i guess. good.

2009

2009-12-26T20:01:00.000-08:00

this book is still in progress but I want to dedicat to people who I care. since the summer things have been different for me. things that I can never see and believe, it was there the whole time. I think I start to feel the love that I was always looking for, still scared, still confused, still sad sometimes but i think we are all like this for a reason to 'glow', and i believe we need some kind of love we deserve to know that there is someone who cares for you.

year is near the end and i want to thank people who have been such a great influence, such a great friend, such a great something in my life 2009.

thesis: inspired by the saying 'plenty of fish in the sea' as the connections we have with strangers we meet everyday on the street. "Six degrees of separation refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth."

jumping loop

2009-05-07T18:58:00.000-07:00

I'm working on this series of people jumping with a invisible loop that will be added later on in digital form.
My concept was to connect our differences with a loop tied to the other ones, just like how strangers meet. Little thin loop of our life cycle, randomly connect us to what seems like a destiny.

Beautiful Losers film trailer from beautifullosersfilm on Vimeo.

by only listening to this short clip, made me wish to librate myself freely without a doubt for consequence -"a loser". so and i believe i could slowly one day find a voice for myself. right now at this very moment I feel like singing 'Beautiful' by Christina Aguilera and giving free hugs and simply bites
