I wanted to share a commissioned piece I did back in December.

greetings from S.A.

Hello everyone !
I am writing you from Port Elizabeth South Africa. I just landed after a long couple of flights (the longest being 15 hours from jfk to Joburg) and I have finally had a hot shower. Its so good to be back in the southern hemisphere again I cant even explain it. Of course, in my haste I forgot my camera (and sunglasses lol) but that's okay because even though my phone doesn't work for communication, I can still take photos.
Its an intense environment here which I feel right at home in and as soon as I can I will certainly post some shots.
Much love to my family here for letting me get online and also feeding me and much love for my friends back home that are concerned for my safety.

More from me soon, in the meanwhile I hope you are all safe and warm there in the winter time while `I soak up a second summer under the southern cross. +)

paradise from hell

Well, I'm off to Hawaii tomorrow and I wanted to leave you guys with a poem. I dont usually do that but I hope you enjoy all the same:

THOUGHTS ON GRAVITY AND PARTICAL DISPERSMENT

(4:00 PM 08-21-11 BROOKLYN)

Planets are set on their side by means of unimaginable impacts back in time.

The sky is full of mystery which we exist for and dwell upon.

And here in our oasis we live, love, kill and die. Pushing ever towards our mystifying

destiny.

And in that paradise we step with our misguided graces. As people we move so fast.

The Cosmos is rich and full of particles which run on their own rules. They move through us 

always, even now as you read. 

We are of particle dispersment through the ages.

Gravity helps in this process over the envelope of time.

It is a folded envelope with particles from the beginning of these exquisite dramas.

From macroscopic to microscopic we flow in spite of ourselves in this expansive and

ironically constrictive eddy.

In this burbling river of time and coincidences we wander.

Enjoy your convex nature until you burst.

Today is a sad day. Rest in Peace Blanca.

for the love of the hood

So I'm walking to the bodega right across the street from my apartment when I come across this lovely sight:

Apparently it had been torched earlier that afternoon. closup:

 The funniest and I mean funniest thing ever (I know that pretty mean of me) is that the poor thing got a parking ticket after the fact. It was seven pm and I hadnt laughed all day, but that made me laugh out loud. Ohhh Brooklyn, gotta love it. Life in the hood is never dull. This was no accidental engine fire, this thing was torched on purpose. The ground was still wet around it from the firemen when I happened upon the scene.
