I am back from OFFF. first day was a bit disappointing but was great because i got to meet with Keith and Luís. Founders of Raster and Creativestem. At OFFF they didn’t give me a free catalogue even if i have an image in there… how cheap right? I was quite pissed at it. First time happening and it’s happening in my own country. Shameful. Met with Joshua Davis, Keith did most of the talking, Joshua is a great speaker for sure. Aaron Koblin (he made radiohead music video of house of cards) is a genius also Jason Bruges Studio. And yesterday Musa Worklab presentation fuckin’ ROCKED the place!. Alva video was funny… Paula Scher quite good. She’s crazy about painting world maps with all the little details.

People at OFFF would be always using the mac’s like nerds who wouldn’t leave their toy for others to play, we had to wait don’t know how much time for Keith to get hold of a mac to access the internet for around 10m.

No, there is no finding Arisu, i appear in none of these photos.

Good news will come related to Raster and Creativestem within the next months hopefully! so keep up with them. A new chapter will come.

Forgot to mention. Had a great meeting with Pedro Soenen. One of the best meetings i ever had, talks about art, culture, and everything else. he’s great!

He also gave me a magazine with an article/interview he made with Trevor Brown for Umbigo (ye.. i do like trevor brown!) and a volume of Kabuki from David Mack.

I have made a tutorial for Digital Arts, April 2009 issue, you can buy it here at Digital Arts website, in case you are wondering the tutorial is how to paint hair and some other few things and do some other stuff in the face of the model. It is similiar to the artworks i have called silly parade/dreamlandia of arisu shown in Raster art group.

I also got in OFFF’s catalogue 09 with dreamlandia of arisu ^^ which is great… hope i get hold of a copy of the catalogue.

this week i finally received my issue of otaku mag: kaidan issue, released some months ago yehhh !! late mail… that’s about it.
