Our Big Hope

Friday January 23rd, 2009 was a very depressing day. At least that’s what the news told me. I then thought about the word HOPE that everyone is using right now and where did it come from? Hasn’t it been the same media transmitting these two contrasting messages, and even at the same time? Who do we believe? What do we want to believe? Some of the headlines read:

- U.N. shocked by Gaza destruction. I forgot the dots in the painting and it made the headline a bit more confusing and amusing.

- Spain’s jobless rate hits 13.9%

- Norway school shooting kills two

- U.K. in recession As economy slides

- Mexico to rethink the death penalty (they can’t all be depressing)

if the walls had ears they would prefer eyes

Tomorrow Saturday Jan 23 I’m going to be painting with my friends Btoy at “untitled”BCN up in Gracia in Barcelona. Stop by.

The address is C/ Topazi 14, Baixos near the Fontana metro stop.

The fun starts at 5pm.

Galeria Oberta pt. 2

The “gallery”

I felt this was the only message I would feel comfortable putting in a space like this.

It was also Andrea from Btoy’s Birthday! Happy birthday Andrea!

The superstar of the day had to be the little girl from the neighborhood who just got up at the DJ booth, and start singing, freestyling, rocking out to the beats, and seriously moving the crowd for hours. This girl’s got rhythm!
