    I knew the word would catch your eye… you pervs! Since you are already here, enjoy this piece of D.I.Y. cinematography.

    Here’s a look at the (almost) final piece.

    We love signed posters! - Nautica South Beach 2012

    What is better than participating in a cause that encourages people to do something beneficial for themselves while helping others?

    I know! Running, swimming and biking all along the beautiful Miami Beach in order to help St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in the fight against childhood cancer.
    Thousands of athletes were part of the 5th annual stamina extravaganza named Nautica South Beach Triathlon last April 1st. Over $400,000 were raised for St. Jude, and that makes all of us very happy.
    Once again, it was my pleasure to support the wonderful FedEx team with a commemorative poster for this year’s event. We overdosed in sugar with all the pastries, cookies and what not that the team captain fed each one of the participants while they stopped by to say hello and take their signed poster.

    n colored lines we shall swim.

    You’re always sleeping on my toaster

    Isn’t that what the song says???


    That is what happens when you are editing and you mouse-over a clip a bit too fast.


    Editing what???

    Ok, ok… here’s the real thing (I still think my version is more appropriate for the toaster). 
    I (heart) you Drums, you sound like summer!

    This must be the place.

    (Playing softly over our heads).
    Take it without flash.
    Nooo! This light reflecting from below makes me look like a monster!
    Who cares? Nobody’s watching, but they’ll definitely notice the tourists if a flash lights up.
    But…
    You look fine.

    Doggy style

    I know! 
    This entry’s title is SUCH a cliché I can barely forgive myself, but it made you look, did it not? (you pervs).

    But what is this about? tell us, tell us!
    This sculpture, which was picked up in my studio today, will be part of the SmARTy Dogs for Smart Schools public art campaign, produced by Prince Media Developments. All the sculptures that are part of this public art festival will be auctioned off on March 28, 2012 at Pinecrest Gardens and 100% of the proceeds will go to the Smart Schools campaign to support technology at the Village’s public schools.
    More info here.

    Bad doggy, bad!                                                                                 Good doggy.

    Art Basel & the obsession with self-portraiture

    Once again, Art Basel Miami Beach (and all the satellite fairs) came and went.
    Oh, how good you were to me, leaving this body so tired, this mind overwhelmed and these eyes wider than ever. 

    From the vault

    There I am, dancing like nbdswtchng with Matt. Good times :)



    Illustration Salad (for no particular reason other than to show them up)

    Jumping out of my plié

    I had this audition the other day,
    it wasn’t easy getting out of bed,
    I stretched, chasséd, while getting dressed,
    not feeling anxious for a single breath.

    All of a sudden room serviced knocked,
    “I did not order this soggy bread!”,
    “I’m sorry madame, won’t happen again”,
    I slammed the door in his puzzled face.

    I lost my mojo, now tell me what?
    “Get back in bed!” the voices cried,
    I wrapped myself in terrycloth,
    and jetéd right back to my fluffy stage. 

    “My take on the evolution of species” - A (mock) National Geographic interview.

    In true Darwinian style, I started studying plants that yet not exist but will soon be around. If he studied the evolution of our past I have the right to study the future… right?


    Here’s an excerpt of what my interview with National Geographic would be like:

    NG: So… you say you have studied the future of species? is that right?
    Me: Of course, look!
    NG: Yeah… Those look like doodles to me… are you serious?
    Me: What do you mean? Of course I am. I spent hours playing with my watercolors, and I hate wasting my time (I smiled and sort of closed my eyes as I tilted my head up towards my right, like my answer was the smartest thing this man had ever heard).
    NG: What scientific proof do you have that plants will evolve towards that level of personalization?
    Me: Well… they need to do something about their boring ways or they will completely be replaced by holograms. I already threw mine away.
    NG: That doesn’t mean they will start behaving like spoiled pets.
    Me: Yes, they can be very spoiled… and they will!
    NG: How long have you been working on these botanical experiments in your lab?
    Me: Lab?.. Nooo, that’s the bar.
    NG: So you have not been working on any botanical experiments?
    Me: But I’m planing to (once again I smiled).
    NG: Ok, thank you for your time, I am leaving now.
    Me: Will I be featured in the cover? 

    (Door slamming).

    A little birdie told me…

    We are all no one till someone thinks that we’re someone…

     Until there we are no one.

    Do you wear what you believe in, or do you believe in what you wear?

    A non-sensical Friday. Gotta go back to my brushes… Ciao!

    ¡Covadonga, estás pingada!

    - ¡Covadonga!
    - … (splash, splash)…

    ¡Cova!
    - … (squish, squish)…
    - ¡Covadongadonga, estas pingada!
    - … (still no reaction from Covadonga)…
    - A ver, a ver… a la casa Covadonga, que estas pingada ¡Covadonga! ¡A la casa!
    - (Covadonga, dripping in chlorine-infused water, slowly walks back, dragging her feet in obvious disagreement with the instructions given).



    Not Covadonga, this is Hanneli. http://www.hanneli.com/ …. This is Covadonga (up here).

    pingar v. intr.
      Colgar o estar suspendida una cosa: a ver si te arreglas el bajo de la falda porque te pinga por delante. Pender.
      Gotear una cosa o una persona que está empapada en algún líquido: llovía mucho y llegué a casa pingando.
      Brincar, saltar.

    Lyrics to a conversation

    - I saw you
    - What?
    - What do you mean what?
    - Where?
    To my right, at 3 o’clock!
    - That early??
    - NO! not the time…
    - Is it time to go? Already?
    - …
    - Huh..?
    - You never answer
    - I am, right now… shoot!
    - Bang!
    - NO! not the gun…
    - Who are they?
    - The bullets?
    - fghvnjk uiytreyduiogiuyubt

    (repeat chorus)

    Always with naked feet… gotta do something about it.


    Turning the nonsensical into a somethi-cal

    Sooo many questions…
    Wanna take a closer look?

    TA-DA moment in the making…

    Sugary shades of Summer

    As soon as I saw the series of candy colored pictures published by Dressed Up Alligators I KNEW I would use them as color inspiration to satisfy my sweet tooth (without the calories of course).
     


    Still in the works here…
