tree, i

3 days, this is what happens when you let your cats go outside, yuki went up on this big tree, wouldn’t come down, i only discovered him there on the 2nd day he has been out, today was the 3rd day. he came down in the morning because my father kinda ‘hipnotized’ my cat (i didn’t get it, i was actually laughing saying he couldn’t make yuki come down).

narcisse

a. narciso, narcissus, narcisse p
b. narcissus or narkissos gm

people often say gemini are twice sided, it’s a sole person but it’s like if there is a bit of two personalities. i didn’t want to portray good vs evil as two different persons but as one. i believe anyone can have a good side and a bad side, it depends on the circumstances into which this event will occur in a person’s life. or what triggers them to have an evil action or a good action (depending on wether this person acts evil all the time or good all the time).
humans break at somepoint. they rise and fall. they are born and ‘reborn’. they are/can be very cruel. they are/can be very great. 

i like narcissus. i’d like them more if they were giant and sniffed me. how adorable would that feel?

 
in depth analysis:
narcissus is common known as a personality from greek mythology that fell in love with his own reflection. they say when someone is a narcissist is because this person loves itself quite a lot like the story of narcissus. is the usage of self being narcissist? even when you do not know this person’s character?

as far as it comes to gemini, both sided yes, maybe it’s bipolar due, most likely not all gemini’s are two sided, only few?.(?)

one of the main themes i have been using since last year it’s the decay of death. for this one, the character is a gemini, good side spreads the beginning and creation of something good while the other side destroys/kills it, turning it ghost like. it’s like a fairy tale being told, what if this character would only destroy instead of creating? everything she walks on gets destroyed by her, angry falling in pieces raven fly around her, flowers turn into ashes, dust.

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.
