The Clone

Apologies

2008-05-15T07:13:00.003-07:00

sorry I had to remove the video of Gustavito y Ayelen, it was messing up my blog. If you want to watch it again... go to the links on that post and search for the 3rd video of them.

Ill post something NEW soon!!! I guess I can say "Im back!"

My B-DAY

2006-08-26T11:51:00.001-07:00

Yesterday was my Birthday... yups! I had a great time. First BDay being back home.

The art stuff has been put aside for a while... darn, but I will be back with that soon. I draw 8 hs per day from Monday to Friday, let me rest!

But now... I want to share this video (and if you want more I will add some links below). This time it's not Jose and me dancing but an extremely cute couple (dancing couple) Gustavito y Ayelen... 10 and 11 years old. They have so much passion and musicality when dancing, I always get emotional when I see them, so finally I got to share this with my friends and family.

Here is the link of an improvisation (not choreography) danced by them:

And the other link is a Candombe:

More of Buenos Aires

2006-06-14T20:47:00.000-07:00

Bah... I had all the post written and it got deleted... bah, bah bah!

Anyway... I was saying what's on the video... It's an important street in the main main main downtown of my city, Buenos Aires. You can see some street performers (lots), also LOTS of people walking in the street. That's one of the things it got my attention when I returned home from Canada, I was accustomed to seeing nobody walking in the streets, and here, even in winter time, everyone goes out. It also has some dancing, some Milonga (similar to Tango but faster) and some folklore (traditional dances). Some "asado" which is the traditional food (sort of BBQ) and some other stuff...

enjoy! to watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aArX2il-q7M

Ahhh crazy cat is trying to eat the pointer - cursor (arrow) and now its licking the screen! HA HA HA...

Im back... TANGO dancing!!!

2006-05-19T16:26:00.000-07:00

Hey!

IM BACK!!! MUAHAHAHA

Ok... not fully back... just a small apearance

This is a TANGO dance video, we (Jose and me) did in the kitchen, the only good-enough place that we can use to practice at my new place (thanks Gabi and Lu -the other one).
And this is the only video that I didnt screwed up laughing my ass off and the cat didnt stopped in the middle to watch us dance.

I'll be back!

My trip to San Francisco, California

2006-02-16T22:58:00.000-08:00

To get from Sacramento to San Francisco we took FOREVER... cause we stopped first in the Jelly Belly factory, yay! Here they are with the all-jelly-bean-portrait of THE GOVENATOR! (I don't know why its not THE GOVERNATOR, which sounds way better... anyway...)

Yeah, I know... we are dumb... lol (and worst... we, I mean... I got the Harry Potter all flavors jellys... and Lu (the other one) made us try the VOMIT one... and seriously... it tastes like vomit, aaaargh.
The next stop was Mc Donald's (but I don't have the pics yet... so I will post them later) And last stop was the winery (on the Napa Valley its full)... and I did what I had to do -when you are a member of ma' family-... taste wines!
After the wines...

The funniest pic... crazy colors!

Finally in San Francisco...

and that famous street I don't remember the name (me with my I'm-sick face)...

In Chinatown...

I wanted to make my mom try bubble tea, but first they call it tapioca drink so it was really difficult to find it, second they made it HORRIBLE! so... I will try again...

Some cute houses, there were so many nice ones in the Victorian neighborhood...

Something that being a tourist you CAN'T miss if you are in San Francisco... ALCATRAZ...

All this way to San Francisco was to get to IKEA... to buy some furniture for my step bro and wife, but obviously I was too busy looking everywhere to be thinking of taking pics.
And that's about it for now... I will post the rest soon!

My trip to Sacramento, California

2006-02-16T22:57:00.000-08:00

A very quiet place... where I can say the most exciting thing it happened was to try this fondue!!! Yeah an awesome-YIN-YANG-black-and-white-chocolate FONDUE... could you believe that?!?! it's sweet! What a marvelous thing...

Gaby, my step brother, y Lu, my step sister in law, trying the fondue... (we went all the way to visit them)

And the cutest sculptures I've seen... and my mom

My trip to Los Angeles, California

2006-02-16T22:55:00.000-08:00

Yeah, this is the first thing I saw when I was on my way to meet Laney at DreamWorks... It couldn't be more touristy... the Hollywood sign!

With Laney at her apartment...

The pool that Laney and Jenn have in their apartment buildings...

Fancy eh? The Cheesecake Factory... (this was part of our SEX AND THE CITY DAY)

At the Cheesecake Factory... Laney with her crazy drink...

Santa Monica's sky...

Visiting Kris Pearn (in Santa Monica) ... he took us to lunch, it was really nice!

Then we went to walk on the beach... this is Santa Monica's pier...

And Laney with the new photography museum... at the beach

This van (if you can call it like that) was one block away from Laney's... and as you could see it had live canaries inside that cage... insane!
Part of our SEX AND THE CITY DAY... shopping! I mentioned the series a couple of times that day to Laney, and we were having a total Sex & the City day when we decided to go to Largo (if that was the name of the pub) where this 80's guitar player (Colin Hay... he did that song "who can it be now" and has a song in the Garden State soundtrack). When to finish with our special day... who was there??? The guy that played Berger, one of Carrie's boyfriends, in the series. Craaaaaaaazy...

"Tango Addiction" by Linda Walsh Casas (fragment)

2006-01-16T18:22:00.000-08:00

"Argentine Tango is more than a dance or a musical style. Many Tangueros say it is a way of life. It has been called a "secret danced between two people", a "feeling that is danced", and a "walking embrace". It is said that Tango is not in the feet; it is in the heart. It is more about the connection with your partner and the expression of feelings than about choreography.

Although Tango continues to evolve, its essence has not changed after more than a century. The beauty of Tango lies in being totally "present", being completely aware of, and focused on, your partner and the music. Tango is an imporvised dance, and no piece of music is ever danced the same way twice. Each dance is unique. Because neither partner knows exactly what will come next, Tango requires heightened sensitivity to your partner, while still expressing yourself. It can bring out the best in both of you.

Tango dancers will tell you that, once experienced, the magic of Tango is addictive."

Thanks Linda for sharing this!!!

TANGO in Argentina

2006-01-16T08:52:00.000-08:00

This pic was taken at the school Carlos Copello. It was one of the girl's b-day (Ayelen, the one with the flowers), she is only 14 years old and dances beautifully. In the pic there are teachers and students from Tango 1, 2 and 3 and the Tango ballet of the school. My teachers are: Maricel Giacomini, the girl behind the flowers, not with the flowers, and Maxi Cristiani the guy near the red column that has the same design on the black t-shirt than one of the girls kneeling. And my Tango partner is Jose, the guy on the far right.

I miss you all!!!

Mom's Head Sculpture

2006-01-11T19:30:00.000-08:00

And the last one I did was for my mom... and as I didn't have time for a whole head I did it like a mask...

Dad's Head Sculpture -rotation

2006-01-11T19:23:00.000-08:00

As the title says... the rotation (half only)

Dad's Head Sculpture -step by step

2006-01-11T19:15:00.000-08:00

After step one... which is nothing...

Step two... is taking more shape...

Kissing the final head... by the real head

Painting it when its dry enough...

After taking the paint off... (the one that I didn't want to keep on, of course)... after this, the oven... (the final one should look pretty much like this)

Brother's Head Sculpture

2006-01-11T19:07:00.000-08:00

This is the sculpture that I made of my brother... in clay.

Done...
Painted... before the oven... (the colors of the pic are totally off, but I like it like this... to see the real color go to Dad's Head Sculpture)

Summer Christmas at home

2006-01-11T19:01:00.000-08:00

Christmas night OUTSIDE and my dad's birthday... (it was a little bit chilly, but really nice)

With my cousins (from left to right) Sebas, Pitu, Ju (brother), me and Martin...

Dancing Tango with my step brother Javi...

At home in ARGENTINA: Poker afternoon

2006-01-11T18:50:00.000-08:00

My first poker day (in the afternoon I played with my family, and at night I went with my brother's friends and I lost badly... cause he taught me how to loose... not how to play and win... bah)
nooo... si yo estaba destinada a ganar con esa mano! pero quien carajo repartio?!?!? (basically complaining "who shuffled that horrible hand"?)

Head Sculpture

2005-12-07T07:34:00.000-08:00

Ok... this is my first sculpture from life... my third one finished in total (counting Lala and Sherlock Holmes)
Here there is... the model....(from a work in progress pic)
By the way... I havent finished cleaning the plaster cast from all the plaster mould... but I think I will leave it like this... it looks nice (in my opinion)

Sculptures

2005-12-06T11:37:00.000-08:00

This is a work in progress... made in wax... I will have to finish it by memory and using the other one as reference (it was the same model) because I won't be going to the last class, darn... (this took me two hs. so far)

And this is how the red sculpture looks like today... I call it done... (this one took me about 7 hs. I think)

Saying bye to 2005

2005-12-06T10:02:00.000-08:00

As we told the people at Shoeless Joe: "Lucia is nice, Saud is bad, Jennie is OK, Andrew is evil, Katia is Russian" after telling them their food sucks or sort of...

Jennie, Saud and me...

Danny, Lu, Jennie, Saud...

Robin and Katia...
Andrew, Lu, Mike Lam and Danny...

Good news!... Firas got his new film "Half Man" in the Sundance Festival... congratulations Firas!!! Isn't that awesome?!?!?! Now he is too cool to hang out with us... =P

Cards for my friends

2005-12-06T09:46:00.000-08:00

This are two cards I did for my friends... of course they have a story behind, but I'm too lazy to tell it, so just enjoy or hate the drawings...

I'm only going to say that this one is called "the attack of the fruit flies"...

And "bubble tea ninja-fight"...

Last trip of 2005 to Ottawa

2005-12-06T09:32:00.000-08:00

Multi-task KT...

My real ART is here!

2005-12-04T21:17:00.000-08:00

That's my real website... just for the art. It's not totally updated, that goes for the animation part specially (-___-), but most of my stuff is there... =S

Finally... some SKETCHBOOK pages!

2005-11-28T21:22:00.000-08:00

From a day we went drawing with Andrew (the russian maffia guy)... in Toronto...

In Ottawa... at Pip... while the guys were working... as you can tell... (well, not all of them =P )

Sculpture's size

2005-11-28T21:14:00.000-08:00

Here is a (bad) pic of the size relation of my new sculpture, cause people been asking how big it is... there you go...

btw... I have long hands

Pity me! pleeeeeeeease

2005-11-28T21:04:00.000-08:00

Yeah... this is my proudly made fish... I suck cooking... or this fish sucks being cooked, I'm not sure which one is the right one... They were 3 pieces, big and looked tasty... after cooking, they reduced more than half the size and not look tasty at all, although they WERE tasty!

Yeah... say it! I suck!

More MATE Experiences!

2005-11-28T19:44:00.000-08:00

Here are some recent Mate Experiences... almost all good!

Mikey... liked it... (gooood!). And he actually didn't try holding the bombilla (straw)!!! Well done! Seems like you are an expert already...

Adriana (she is Venezuelan but she doesn't know too much about Mate, she kept trying to stir it... no no Adri, no touchy), she also got burnt... It's hot!

and Alex, Adriana's boyfriend... another Canadian trying Mate... liked it too, right? He kept comparing it with tea... yeah... but it's MATE! He was also distracted by the boobies in the Image Bank catalogue... jeez.

Good Ol' cutties

2005-11-28T18:10:00.000-08:00

Hey guys! Send me the best cuttest pic you have of yourselves when you were babies or no older than 9 years old and I will post it. Im going to make a post of funny-cute baby pics.

Me... Yesterday and Today

2005-11-27T21:46:00.000-08:00

Wasn't I cute in this pic?

Now, look at me today... It's amazing how people change so much... cuak! (Thanks Tony for the link... I had so much fun... well, I have fun easily)

My Brother Julian, the best (and only one)

2005-11-27T21:39:00.000-08:00

He is the one on the floor. He is acting, actually, improvising would be the word. In a match of improvisation... he is awesome! Too bad I couldn't see him in any of the matchs... booo

Bubble Tea in Ottawa

2005-11-27T21:24:00.000-08:00

Mmmmm yummy bubble tea... I like the tapioca balls!

Mine is watermelon...
Mikey, I knew if I waited enough you will LAUGH! HAHAHAHA... Don't try to be serious with me!
Mike is Taro. Here a link to how Mike drinks his bubble tea... (by Tony)
I can barely see Andrea's but she had jello (?) instead of tapioca balls... yuck!

KT is coco toast and I don't know what bubble tea she had... coco too?

Tony is Taro too... and the only one sketching... well done son, now I feel guilty not to be drawing!

Movie Nights

2005-11-27T21:05:00.000-08:00

This is from our first movie night (with this group). It was at Ian's house, and he took this pics in his awesome-hair-drier-chair that he has in his living room. We watched one of my favourite argentinian movies: 9 Queens (or 9 Reinas). I totally recomend it!

Firas...
Jennie...Justin...

And me...

More Ottawa fun on Halloween

2005-11-27T20:53:00.000-08:00

This are a couple of pics that Tony took on Halloween... of the process of "pumpkin-ing" best known as pumpking carving.

Well, obviously this pic wasn't taken by Tony... cause this IS Tony...

Here are Andrea, Steve and KT...

Andrea, Steve and me...

And a better shot of the final pumpkins...

ART hurts, LOVE hurts, WEATHER hurts

2005-11-24T23:59:00.000-08:00

Yeah... they DO...

Today I started chiselling my sculpture as you can see below... everything is awesome except that I hammered my finger 10 times... so now IT HURTS! plus I can barely bend it... ouch!

You can actually see the finger getting all swollen here...

The left finger should look like the right one...

And then while cooking (I should stop cooking) I burnt my finger... so the yellow thing I have in my right hand finger its medicine for burns... anything else? Yeah... the blue thing on my right hand is just ink.

And stupid weather and the stupid ice on the floor made me slip and almost fall sooo many times! I have to give one point to the weather... thanks to the snow I collected from the floor my finger is not that swollen... cause I put it on ice! (well, snow in this case)... thats the only good thing... but you have to hurt yourself for the weather to be helpful in some way. Other than that... I hate it. It sucks walking on the street, you eat a lot of snow, you get into windy swirls of snow, it gets into your eyes, your (at least mine) headphones fall all the time cause your ears are so frozen that they reject the earplugs, and the floor is all slipery and you have to walk like a penguin not to fall (smart guys those).

Preview of my new sculpture (the second one)

2005-11-24T23:19:00.000-08:00

Here it is... it's not finished yet... as you can see the arms are not quite there...

Anyway... me no like it too much, but now its too late to modify it, I have only one class left and that's it. I was supposed to work today on it... but the chiselling took forever... and it HURT...

*sobs*
By the way... I should have taken the pics from another p.o.v... the perspective sucks and it makes it look all weird (plus it doesn't have the best proportions in the world... so it doesn't help either)

Well... at least I finally posted some artwork!

Artwork coming soon

2005-11-23T18:29:00.000-08:00

Ok ok.... I will start posting artwork soon... as soon as I have time to scan the damned things... I promise... just dont wait standing...

Things that I promised to do (will I ever do them?)...

A drawing of Charlie's angels of hell which are KT, Laney and me
A Bday card for KT (I guess for next year's bday)
A pin up (not ugly on purpose) girl (damn... that s going to be hard, i will have to restrain myself)

and I think thats about it... right?

The best scare of my life -by Tony

2005-11-10T21:16:00.000-08:00

This is the drawing that Tony-bad son-Truong did of the day he and Mike scared the hell out of KT and me (luckily I don't suffer of any heart problems)... I think he captured the moment perfectly. Good job Tony! (man! he even got my sport shoes properly!... that's attention to detail!)

FIRST Halloween in Ottawa

2005-11-07T19:31:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! This is my first post... ohhh so exciting! I went to visit my friends in Ottawa, KT, Mike, Andrea and Tony. We drove with Steve (Andrea's boyfriend)... well, I drove, he just relaxed. It was an awesome weekend, I had my FIRST real Halloween... I did some pumpkin carvings at Gerry's (KT's boyfriend) with all the animation guys. There we watched Amerytville Horror, my first official-really-scary movie. And after that I got the best scare of my life (actually, it was KT and me who got scared) and thanks to my dear Mike and Tony (bad son). It was perfect! And I also watched my second-official-MORE-scary-I-hate movie... The Ring, which had a big impact on me... I'm possessed now... mua ha ha ha haaaaaaa

Samara Morgan...

At Gerry's...

The pumpkins... Mike's (spider), Gerry's (casper), mine (spiderweb), Tony's (Superman) and KT's (happy-scary face)...

The girls costumes... (Andrea and KT)...

My Ottawa costume...

And the bastards that scared us... Tony and Mike...

I hope you have enjoyed the pics!

The MATE experience

2005-11-07T15:58:00.000-08:00

Here are some of my canadian friends having their first mate (which is a very common drink at home... like tea, but more popular)

Poor Mike here had the worst first mate EVER (my yerba -the leaves- was very old and bitter and I didn't tried it before him, like I would normally do... so he got his worst first impression, but funny enough he is the one that still drinks mate! He has the whole set at home). Actually, in that trip to Ottawa that I posted here, he sebo mate -the action of making mate- to Andrew, the russian mobster, and me in the car. I should have taken some pics of that!

KT... did you like it?

Laney is cool with it... she doesn't show any sign of pain (hey! It's not painful at all, its just different at first)

And last... Spencer... he survived

Awww... now I want someone to drink mate with. I don't drink it alone, its more fun to be in a group of people having mate... everyone drinks from the same bombilla -straw- ... and we all share our saliva... and... and...

Ottawa International Animation Festival 2005

2005-11-07T14:56:00.000-08:00

Again in Ottawa...

This was a very inspiring time. Met lots of cool people from the industry (animation-crazy-dudes and dudettes). Saw wanderful films (and not so wonderful too, but anyway... there is always some in every family).

Here are a few pics from the animation picnic...

KT and me...

Firas and Jennie...

Steve and Pasquale (from Bioware)...

And KT with pumpkin...

Ottawa again!

2005-11-07T14:40:00.000-08:00

Well this is another trip I did to the city of Ottawa, this time for Canada Day (although I don't have any pics of that day :S )

Here is a self portrait of M Conicon...

What was this party for?

2005-11-07T14:02:00.000-08:00

I don't remember the occasion of this party, it could have been a b-day or the end of classes or anything! It was at Kareem's (which was also Kyle's, Vatch's and Jim's, but it was known as Kareem's). Here there are...

Yeah... everyone sit on top of me... it doesn't hurt, I have legs of steel! Lana, Conicon and Lu (underneath), LiLian, JiEun and Katia...

LiLian and Nick...

Jon, Kyle, Charlotte and the lovely Ex... with his power eye...

Yeah... it's still not hurting... after that pic Scott jumped on top of everyone... and my legs of steel broke...

A Shek, A Scheglov, LiLian, Aiden, Alim...

Group (getting lazy of writing names)...

I miss Kareem's parties!!! We should break into that house and invite everyone again and party some more!

This whole lot are the best group of classmates and friends you could have ever asked for. They became my family in Canada and I spent every single day of my life with them (including weekends) in this last few years...

This was the best meal I (and probably most of us) had in the year, a banquet!... and yes! it was in the 3rd year's-computer-no-food-allowed-lab... that was actually our home for the last two weeks, and that smelled like guys that didn't showered for days... ewww

Post-it-Terry (Layout teacher and friend)... and the second year's revenge...

School is over... chilling for the first time in three months (more or less)...

End of school... christmas presents... wait a minute... that doesn't make sense?!?! If we ended up in April... nevermind... Since when ANYTHING makes sense at school?

With the tiger Qadesh

2005-11-06T00:19:00.000-08:00

She came to school, for life drawing so we could draw her... but she was so amazing that I barely drew... I couldn't stop looking at her in awe... she was gorgeous!

And she loves me!

And I love her too! And she is happy knowing it...

And she loves me more, with her sand paper tonge...

That leaves a mark after 5 min of licking me with passion...

That's the difference between normal hand (left one) and tiger-loved-hand (right)... (after a day of being loved)...

Qadesh with my class... the exact moment when she decided she loved me and started demonstrating it...

With the second class...

And with the third class... (she is missing me, I can see it on her face)...
