RIP TVRBO

I still can’t believe it, this is very sad. A great friend and a brilliant artist. His drawings and paintings always made me smile since fotolog times. Last time i talked to him we were planning to go to Sao Paulo and paint. He was gonna be on the dream team show i curated but at the end he couldn’t, i know he’ll always be on my personal dream team forever.

Huge influence, master of colors and king of stylez! You’ll live forever in our hearts, my friend!

Lucky charms on my pencil case, TVRBO and LL Cool Jo.

Talking about May, i made a new calendar

Sent more shirts to Good Press Gallery in Glasgow ’cause they are awesome!

Added to the shop more baby onesies and shirts.

did some quality reading

walked around and saw cool old cars

saw original drawings and paintings by one of my favorite artists of all times

Dan Clowes Forever!

and that was enough to make me overwhelmed for weeks until my next visit to the Oakland Museum to check the show again.

Last night i saw The Wave Pictures playing and it was amazing, heartfelt, powerful and very inspiring! I was waiting for this concert for too long, i can’t already wait to see them playing again <3

High in the Bay

I’ve been busy being sick, being my own lawyer and making art. Always updating High in the Bay with new zines and stuff, you should check it out.

Sketch Tuesdays last night was fun! I painted some postcards (above and below) and other things i forgot to photograph.

by the end of the night i was feeling more buzzed than this guy (below). and i wonder if i’m the first person to trade a zine for candy on sketch tuesdays? hmm maybe.

and now back to my cave!
