Plaid Sweater

Grant Wood's lesser known portraits of the gothic face of American lifestyle are just as amazing as the American Gothic the looney tunes so many time mocked. For instance this Plaid Sweater kid

Grant Wood

Plaid Sweater, 1931

29 1/2 x 24 1/8 in (74.9 x 61.3 cm)

Becomes an instant favorite.
Perhaps all of us are a little bit plaid at some point. With inter-related ideas that pattern our lives.

I might be going to the Summer@Brown program... we'll see how that goes.

Entry for Maria Antonieta

Maria Antonieta asked me today at school to please updat my blog so here it goes:

This week I got my car back (it was crashed), I've been listening to a Disney/Pixar movie score CD, I have been loaded with homework and I've been working on my short film...

Now, thats something worth commenting.
My friend Juan Carlos came up with an idea for a short film and he asked e to help him as art director... I have ever since been in casting sessions, looking for wardrobe and costumes, cooking fake blood, studying video photography websites and searching in the deepest of my mind for ideas to add to the plot so it has a little of the Magical Realism I love so much. We will send it to a short film contest and... well, we'll see... I'll let you know if we win.

I will leave a picture of Mayra Silva's "Invitación a la nada" Text over cloth napkin. Worth googling her, one of the best contemporar mexican artists.

Intern

Today I have my third day in the alternativaonce galería.
So far, I have been complying the portfolios of Jessica Salinas and Nacho Cincoya. And reviewing the artworks of Mayra Silva, Adrián Procel and José Luis Díaz...
We'll be shipping them to Mexico City for Zona MACO (www.macomexico.com) which I won't be able to attend (yes my heart just died a little)
