6:00 AM

Tomorrow we hand in our short film for the contest.

If we win we get to be screened in a real movie theatre and all...

I made the poster:

Its called 6:00 AM and it is a long story that I will tell during the week

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

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)

Adrián Procel

Acicalar mientras se escribe

135x150 cm

And the James Dean hair...

Today I got a haircut. I went to the weird (surprisingly straight) guy who works at the barber shop and showed him this picture:

And said: I want a haircut like that (actually it was: quiero que me cortes el pelo así) and when I see... nothing like it.

I'm pissed; specially since I specifically said what I wanted and then the guy decides to do as he pleases WITH MY HAIR.

I just hope It grows in spring break when society can't see me

No se me importa un pito....

Recent obsession with Oliverio Girondo due to watching Argentinian movie El lado oscuro del corazón.

US History exam tomorrow... nervous

Not much to say.

Who knows what will happen.

"No se me importa un pito

que las mujeres tengan los senos como mangolias, o como pasas de higo

[...]

¡Pero eso sí! -y en esto soy irreductible- no les perdono

bajo ninguna excusa, que no sepan volar"

Undecided...

I watch Iron Chef and I am certain I want to dedicate my life to cooking... I then take a glimpse at an art-nouveau-esque add and I am sure I would like to know all the theor behind it and be able to analyze it thoroughly to the point of writting a book on Mucha's impact in the XXIst century.

It hasn't been hours before I am arguing with someone over a piece of literature and the intense thought of having a complete education on it is too big to control.

I am uncertain... I son't know where will my life take me (note it is not about where will I take MY life). As of now I can be happy with what I got

Cooking, Art, literature?

NO FUCKING IDEA

PD. I worte my historical investigation on activism in the 60s. It was amazing... maybe ill upload it when it's finished.
