End of Summer '24

 

I sometimes forget I have this blog page while life keeps distracting me constantly. But indeed this was a fun summer, I went to Europe once again and finally stepped in Scandinavia for the first time. Lovely Norwegian fjords, castles in Copenhagen and Swedish meatballs, what a pleasure. I'm now back to NYC waiting for the cold weather to arrive, or not waiting but it's unstoppable.

This week I'll be doing a new Pancakes and Booze event, my third one actually and will conclude my art events for the year. I did enjoy doing two events at Green Point Gallery, even though it was a bit hard to arrive to the place. Hopefully I get to find a few new places next year to display my art and maybe sell some.

I have a few more trips before the end of the year but I hope I manage to make time to draw a bit more. The amount of art pieces made this year is not big, but I hope the quality gets better. I'm also searching for a new series to make, since the Fruits & Veggies was so much fun.

Not much more to add, I'll see you all soon ##

The 2024 art extravaganza

 

Well hi! Right after the crazy end of year with the Fruits & Veggies Series (where I ended up making 36 of them and I'm now planning prints for upcoming shows), I went on a two month trip to my home country of Argentina. There was no new content in this lapse, for which I'm a bit ashamed of but there was really no good time to sit down and draw.

I'm now back and the proper planning for the year has started. So far I will be attending two art shows -- one at Green Point Gallery and a new Pancakes and Booze in the coming weeks, both in Brooklyn, NY. Hopefully I get to bring new content for the second one, since I'm planning to get the Fruits series printed out soon. On that note, people seem to have loved the series and it may be a great idea to do a new one later this year.

Another idea I have been brewing is creating yet another coloring book and maybe a comic series, but that's yet to be decided.

On the NFT side, the project has not really caught much traction so it will still be there on the site, but I have just released a new homepage that removes the NFT focus. I'm back to displaying simpler content, with a link to the new Fruits series and the latest artworks uploaded. I may go back to NFTs one day, but unfortunately the craze is long gone and I have no idea how to catch traction on new users. This has been a lot of work with little results, but I'm glad about the project regardless since it's been an awesome experience. Maybe by creating more art and improving the website, it will start moving again one day.

Thanks for being there!
