Adamantium is the answer

Let’s allow ourselves to heal, Logan.

Gravity

There is a sense of disillusion, fleeting life and gravity.

Heaven showers

“Heaven shower down blessings on you, and save me, that I may again and again testify my gratitude for all your love and kindness” (excerpt from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein)

Today, I choose to be grateful, despite being handled a smackdown from destiny.

Our conditions

We strive to transcend our conditions, to not let them drag us down but instead help us rise to the surface.

Love will not disintegrate

This is one of my favorite DisCo (Disintegration Collaboration) images. The print to this original digital photo of mine has been subjected to disintegration (weather and time). I edited it with Photoscape, and photographed at the bottom of a pila (a Guatemalan term for a cement structure used for washing clothes).

Rejected cartoons by Don Hertzfeldt

My life has improved considerably since I watched this short animated film. Also, Duffgirl and I have an inside joke related to it (Quite funny and worrisome at the same time).

Square one

I found humility at square one.

Quality time with the family

As this goes out into the virtual world, I hope to be petting Leia, Mishus, Cucho, Simone or Peanut. My animal family. Will post more photos of them soon, promise!

That which was ZUM

I once joined creative forces with a couple of friends: a graphic designer (Mariaolga Reyes) and a musician/producer/DJ (Basico3). What we came up with, ZUM, was a cultural product that excited us. The concept stemmed from having writers, graphic designers and illustrators creating something out of nothing a seasonal theme. We put our money, time and ideas to work and produced a couple of issues, which literally have traveled the globe.

P.S. We also produced a bunch of stickers, placed in Guatemala City and New York City, among other places.

Art as a spiritual experience

A disintegrating year

Nothing says: “It’s gonna be a great 2011″ like a calendarby Duffboy… but not just any simple collection of months, no… it features images that have been part of my Disintegration Collaboration bundles.

Keeper of music, memories and chivalry

If you’re a fan of music, Don Quijote and crossprocessing, I hope that you will appreciate this work by yours truly.

Disintegrated commitment

Part of my first venture into the DisCo project (Disintegration Collaboration) features artwork by Álvaro Sánchez (“A dog is left on the street”) intervened by yours truly.

Features for November 14, 2010 (via touched·by·fire)

I’ve been a contributing blogger and cohost to a redbubble group, Touched by Fire, thanks to the invitation of fellow artist and poet PJ Djennel. I share with you her tribute to our TBF group of cohosts and bloggers.

There are two ways of spreading light – to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. ~Edith Wharton. Giving love to our hosts/bloggers. A lot of hard work goes into Touched By Fire, both the group and the blog. Like you, each of our co-hosts have lives outside of the bubble… families, jobs, and responsibilities. Yet, they always find time to devote to our blog and group, sharing gratitude, encouragement, and support with all of us without h … Read More

Should you disintegrate…

Disintegration Collaboration. Duffboy 2010

I believe the future can disintegrate things. This is part of the evidence that backs me up…
