Compass of thoughts...


Here is a relief print i made as a multiblock on pine wood. I went for a super simple design that i saw on a bag, that i choose to print on a pine-wood block. This is made out of 3 blocks + handwriting with speedball ink ( not the easietst thing to write on the ruff texture of a print ) This design came out unsolid, but that is what happens when u try to print on wood. The wood absorbs alot of the ink. The message is from Buddha, and i love it. Was he a methaphysician? He said: " What we think, we become". You know he was right. Mind over matter, the law of attraction, what we think-we become...What am i trying to say? - Check your thoughts and beliefs since they are the compass of energy guiding the direction on your journey in life! Blessings to you from me. Enjoy your xmas holidays!

Etchings



.... So here is my first attempt in etching. The process is so much fun: you start by scribing out the design on a zink metal plate, then you bite it in acid, rub the ink on it, prepare the wet paper and run it through the press one time. This way u dont have to actually re-do the design if you want more of them, you dont have to draw it every time. Instead- with an etching - you have the design ready on a " template", for you to re-ink and press at anytime. This is one of the techniques of printmaking. I call these " Rastababy" ( as seen on clothing ) and " Michael" the one and only king of pop. Enjoy it people! Enjoy!

Sweet photography session.....oh yes!


I had an absolutely amazing photoshoot last week end. I was doing a collaboration with the swedish stylist Karolina Brock. She was in New York for a business trip ( she freelance write for fashion mag: Plaza) I am so happy that we got to link up and put our creative minds togheter. She is amazing at her craft, truly unique. The way she puts an outfit togheter is for me, super inspiring. This outfit was wicked. But don't even think about wanting those funky pants, unless yuh are willing to pay $300 on SALE :S what can i say: Emilio Puchi is not kidding when it comes to his fashion. LoL. Model this time was the stunning Lizbeth DeJesus, who knows how to werk the camera. Liz brought with her the talented make up artist Tianna Aniquia, who came and did her magic despite short notice. Big ups to her, she does great work. Check out the samples folks. Sweet like swedish candy!

"Broken Pieces"


There are definitely times in life where i have given up on myself. That shayt hurts....forever. But life goes on and there is always another chance for us to pick up the broken pieces and put them togheter, the pieces left behind in another space and time...#Listen to the goodness withing and heal yuhrself#

This is my first created sculpture made of plaster and wood. The idea was to create a non-objective sculpture built of a minimum of three individual pieces and the goal was to create an interesting negative space (the areas in between- and around the pieces). I had alot of fun in the making of this sculpture, with the new( for me) material. After creating a mess-this is how it came out. It's called " Broken pieces" ...... Have a long look at it, let it speak to yuh and feel what it means to yuh! Blessings
