{Stuff}

Yeah.
I think I finally found a way to draw objects so yay! I got this thing where I draw stuff I have laying around in my room that I like. Not that I don't like the stuff that is in my room. It's my room we are talking about.  As for my pen, I might need to get 5 more {or 10...}

{27ª Bienal Nacional de Artes Visuales}

Last Friday I went to the 27ª Bienal Nacional de Artes Visuales. As usual, a bunch of kids from some school where there. I listened to people talk about certain pieces in a... let's just say you don't want to hear those comments ever again, a guy who works at the museum saw my Batman shirt and started to talk about it and how he had "the whole batman outfit when I was 17", and my polaroid failing on me when I tried to take a photo of something and it turning out to be completely black. As for the pieces this year I'm not entirely sure what to think of them. Some I like, some I did not.

As for the animations, I really like "Palos" by Tomás Pichardo"

Really disappointed at how my photos turned out. I really need to get a camera. In the meantime I'll have to manage. 

{Bitácora del Capitán: Ride Night}

Last friday was Ride Night!
Even though I was supposed to end my working shift at 19.00, I ended up closing my unit at 20.15 *deep sigh* After cleaning and prepping everything for the next day, I finally finish everything and I was ready to go {21.30 or something} All in all, it was a pretty decent night with my pretty lady Natali!

Only one week left in Illinois! I'm going to miss so many people... but oh well.

{Hello, Illinois}

Hello mateys!
As many of you might not know, I'll be living Illinois for the next three months! All in all, it's been good. I've got the chance to go to the Art Institute of Chicago which was one of the best things ever and I'm looking foward to visit it again, alone this time. Not a lot of updates lately but I'll try to keep up with everything. One of the highlights of my second visit to Chicago: a candy red, cupcake van!

♪♫ You Don't Love Me by The Kooks

{Minilands}

I love miniatures. I really do but its kind of complicated when I try to make them myself. Ever since 2011 I think, I started making "wonderlands" in small crystal containers with the main object being mushrooms and woodland related things. There has always been something appealing for me about wood and moss, especially moss, that is just beautiful. Since I don't exactly live in a "mossy" area, I try to add little pieces of it to any space by making this uh... things or globes if you want to call them that.

I found the globes one time I was out with my dad and he suggested I should get them to do "something similar to the small mushroom things you do". After thinking about it I decided to get them. Guess they came in handy in my times of boredom.

As for this one, since my sister kept buying baby food for my new niece, I kept all the containers... and they were A LOT. Not that I'm complaining. I made a lamp out of this one but I had to redo it cause I was planning to sell it but didn't.

♪♫ Missing You by Green Day

{Forks}

You might have seen this somewhere else. I surely did.
A couple of years ago, I saw this really cool bracelet made out of a bended fork and I told myself I will do that someday. Guess that day arrived... 7 months ago. Yeah, yeah, I'm posting stuff I made 7 months ago but at least it's something. The hard part came when I had to find a fork that could bend enough for me to make a bracelet out of it. Luckily, I found it on my first search.

My brother had this really cool powder paint which stick on any metallic surface it touches and then, by taking the piece into the over, it will adhere to the piece leaving no runny/ brush marks/ etc behind. Pretty neat!

Materials:

• Cheap fork
• Pliers
• Paint
