Report… how life is going
Jun 21st
Life is always different, even it seems the same. In this post just want to share my last projects and what i have in mind, even want to express what’s in my mind, even that’s a hard thing to do.
As some of you may know i’m collaborating with Role Magazine now, writing about SLart (quite a big topic to talk about), you can take a look at my last article in this post at their blog
Also i’m working with my friend Ganymedes Costagravas in a store, a place to sale some of our creations. Still a lot to work together there, but that’s the pleasure, working with friends in some things. As soon as we have more information we will post about it. 
Blogs with friends, building projects… for a long time i was kinda… how to say it?… not so motivated in SL. Now it seems this is about to change, we will see what happens.
“Gender”, tiny SL-photography show @ Pride Festival 2009
May 25th
Thanks to Eric Quimby, who donated the space, i’m running an small SL-photography show at Second Pride Festival 2009. Images by Silverdrake Sparrow, Lacie Babenco and myself about some visions about “Gender” as a human issue. I’d like to paste here part of the notacard for the show:
Gender is one of the most important human topics. It defines us, personally and socially, and sometimes it can be hard to combine this two sides of it. What happens when the social and personal sides are not fitting? What if you accept your gender but not the social stereotypes?
In this space three SL-photographers tried to show some visions about Gender. Silverdrake Sparrow with her images about the stereotypes, asking why the heroine can’t save the boy instead of the tradition in culture. Raul Crimson talks about the social limits of gender with characters using crossed attributes or attitudes. Lacie Babenco with the power of gender to define us deeply and simply, the naked truth.
Gender is still an issue in a virtual world, even we all have the freedom to choose here the issues remain or even get bigger. Be free to be yourself, choose who you want to be and ask respect for your election.
It was opened on May 23rd and will be there for one week, while Second Pride Festival is running. I’d love if you visit it and share your opinion here, here you are the SLurl.
This year Second Pride will support the work of Amnesty International and their work against homophobia in the world, specially but not only in China, Middle East, Africa and Eastern and Central Europe. Is a good time to remember there are some countries were being homosexual is illegal and has penalties from being some months in jail, life in prison or even death penalty. Take a look at the Wikipedia for more information about this.
This year Pride Festival is six sims, two comercial ones and four with rides and other events, go and take a look:

Cubik Circle is… kinda back
Oct 16th
Possibly some of you may remember i had a furniture store some time ago, Cubik Circle Furniture Store.
The store was working pretty well, but last June i felt like a bit tired of it and decided to destroy it and close the store. Was a moment for new projects (still working on them).
Anyway a lot of people asked me for the old stuff of Cubik Circle. I don’t feel in the mood to open again the store or create new stuff in that style but at the same time i think is a good idea to make all this old stuff available to the ones that want it.
So… i created an alt to manage the sales and an on-line store for the old stuff in OnRez! The stuff for sale will be in really low prices and some for free, the full sets for only 150L$. For the moment just a couple of sets for sale, but in the next weeks more stuff will be added.

Pasión… exhibition at Kirkness Art Center
Oct 10th
The Kirkness Art Center was so nice to invite me to organize an exhibition of some of my works in their gallery in Hinterland.
After a talk with Edvard (the curator of the gallery) we though in the name: Pasión (Spanish word for passion) because is that what is all about.
I think is quite a personal exhibition, in the sense the images show my real passions, what i consider erotic, my dreams… even sometimes my fears. I presume that’s what most of my images are about.
The opening will be this next Sunday October 12 at 11:00AM SLT and to arrive to the gallery, please, follow this SLurl.
