Bacanales Lupanar

A few days ago was the march edition of the Bacanales Lupanar gathering. Consists of a bunch of talented and scrambled jazz musicians, playing on a room with old wallpaper and christmas tree’s lights. Before them there’s a black couch, with a model posing naked on it.

All round and in front of her there are couches and chairs that look like recycled from the trash (which makes them wonderfully comfortable and artsy) in a sort of improvised theater. There goes the artists, painters, illustrators, all doing their best to be in a comfortable position while sketching with ink, charcoals, watercolors, pencils, and all sorts of mediums, while drinking red wine from reused jam jars. Wonderful.

True is, it’s a great way to spend a friday night with artsy friends and let your own creative juices flowing, sheet by sheet you get loose and try new things, new approaches and that certainly does me well. It’s every first friday night of the month, btw.

never been to casa Batlló

There’s a photo pinned to the inside of my house’s door that my girl put there, of what I imagine is an inner view of Casa Batlló.

I’ve never been there, as it is in Barcelona and I’ve never been to Barcelona. But the weird and wonderful arrange of tiles and shades of blue twisting on those warped balconies made me think not only the amazing places I don’t know, but also the creativity you can put in anything you do. That house is the work of Gaudí, but if you can do something that looks like that out of a house, imagine what you could do with a blank sheet of paper.

So this is the was I begin my 2012. Good luck!
