i was also published with one image in zupi mag of this month

with hands around my throat

i am trying to get some japanese contacts, apart of that i don’t think there’s anything interesting to tell. i still am feeling reluctant in sharing to anyone my recent artwork, it’s not that i like it, is just i just don’t feel like showing to anyone at this point, opinions don’t seem much relevant to me lately.

i think i created one of the most pieces i could ever create but that’s just me. frustation kicked in, my cat destroyed the hat i was gifted by rudi. sad

these photos was my sister-in-law who took them, she did the make-up on me, i hate to wear make-up but she was trying on some asian style on me for the funs then i asked her to take some photos but we didn’t took enough photos and i look kinda weird in some. though i am smiling in some so i look kinda retarded, i don’t like to see me smiling i always kinda look like one of those silly anime characters. i’ve made the post-production.

the cat i’m holding in the photos is kenshi. is the new kitten.

i have good and bad news… bad news is that my solo exhibition that was supposed to happen in march was postponed (most likely to may or june) due to the fire earlier yesterday night of the bar that elegy ibérica was holding the event. freaky right? police is investigating it and stated that it seemed to be a ’settlement’ and that was for sure made by criminal hand. either way… i guess then this gets more loose because from what i know so far some other exhibition might be held in asia.

good news is that my artwork is available at artwhino store, some people might find it a bit expensive but well, i am not calling the prices of my artwork anymore, person who deals with all this has more contacts and made several searches on what prices should be. we have chosen our price but with the more 50% of the gallery it gets higher price. some of these prints are limited editions but they range from 3 to 5 prints *only*, and PiNK is a single edition. i believe they forgot to mention it in the store but i will emailing them soon… to see which images are available click in store and then chose more artists or more previous artists something like that… and you will see in a very tiny way saying arisu
as far as my zazzle store still haven’t got to a settlement of stuff on this, i am still working on it and am hoping for in march or april *at least* to have some doing the management of it and being more promoted on the web, some people have bought my accessories already but i got a problem is that i still can’t change my royality. so i’m only making cents at this point.

about my art, i am doing new pieces… i will soon start the schoolgirl series most likely in march, i need to do a second shoot for it cuz in the past weeks i haven’t been doing any cuz fruscianta has not being able and i’m gonna start teaching her photoshop.

the last 2 images i posted, the square colorful ones, i did another 2 and i’m hoping for this week to do another 2 and then launch them into my website, anneli says it’s a good series but i am not very pleased… but i am hard to please anyway. they’re nice, poses are pretty much the same  but i am just variating the theme but is all about candy and sweetness.

i still have those commissions to do but i still need to do the shootings for this and i’m starting to lack of time.
