The Selena Salt portrait
I find it amazing what can be done using salt for artsake for example in this case there is a San Antonio, Texas artist named Rob The Original who had done a portrait of Selena using only salt and that is just an amazing idea. When the artist was creating this one of a kind portrait 250,000 people watched as this amazing work of art was being created. Selena’s brother AB Quintanilla was also present for the creation of the Selena salt portrait. The presentation was held at a Mexican restaurant located somewhere in San Antonio. It is too bad that salt can not be framed.

The Sagittarian Soldier
I drew a album cover for an album that i did called “The Sagittarian Soldier” sometime ago I was waiting to go on a bus run and i sat down and drew this noble knight. This is the alternative album cover to what I did eventually release and that is me dress as a demon of some sort. Actually I did and advertisement that was in Revolver Magazine and this drawing was also a part of the ad that was place right above an advertisment for a release that Rob Zombie was doing at the time.

I saw the Imagine Peace Tower
I was in awe of it, and I showed it to my mother; that peace was something beautiful to see. I saw a little bit of it, and I was still inspired, and I still remember it to this day. Besides, you don’t see something beautiful like that every day. You’re doing a wonderful job creating this beautiful imaginary Tower of Peace. Later, I had a poster of the tower in my room.

The Homies
When I was in highschool I used to collect The Homies figurines and I thought that they were cool as I still do. They were created by David Gonzales a fictional latin barrio in california and they are tightknit. I had a couple of posters as well as the figurines too. Each piece is a beautifully done little piece of art. There is a little kid spin off appropriately titled “Mijos” which is spanish for my children or my kids.

Snl art dealers sketch
There is a Saturday night live sketch that I like a lot called “The art dealers”. It is about a married couple who work together as art dealers who are eccentric and out of this world because they are so into their own world the hilariousness comes from their interactions with the outside world and trying to share their world with those around them. I love this sketch. From what I wish I was they are my ideal.

Graffiti is not a crime.
I love grafiti. It is a form of art, and it is also a language of the streets. It is in no way, size, shape or form a crime of any kind. The streets is the canvas and the museum with which the artists who create graffiti can put their work. One of my favourite things to do is to take photos of the graffiti that i see and i have put them all in a collection on instagram named after the classic Prince album and movie “Graffiti Bridge”. Graffiti is art and it is an insult to the artists when it is covered and destroyed.

The Keep Calm and Listen to Willy Chirino poster I created
This is the Keep calm and listen to Willy Chirino poster i created for my beloved friend Willy Chirino. I showed it to him and he liked it and then told me that he loves those posters. The idea for it came to me randomly i was driving somewhere and the idea came to and then when i got back to my house i went on my computer and created the poster and that is the way it happened. Like Willy i love those type of posters as well. He deserves a poster like this and that is all.

The Gates by Christo and Jean Claude
Many years ago in Central Park in New York City there was a beautiful installation by artistic duo Christo and Jean Claude called “The Gates”. It was set up along the entire walking path in Central Park and lasted a good long time to the point that it over stayed its welcome in the opinion of some but not mine but after a while some New Yorkers had formed the opinion. The piece was orange frames with safron curtains like those that Buddhist monks wear draped over them. I wish that I had had the chance to experience but I missed out. I just want to say that the staff who approved the project for the park are geniuses.
