A few weeks ago I was for two days taking pictures and recording videos in an artistic intervention of an abandoned buttons factory here in Buenos Aires, a great time, very good artist, very good place, with the best organization of the girls of “Algún Lado“.
Here some of the material of those days.

El Perro Tureco stopped at times to pursue the famous “El Silbón”, illustrious character of the Venezuelan imagery to become a representative anthology of Venezuelan comics, involving the visions of Venezuelan and Latin American artists, cartoonists, designers, and how many people exist within the scope of the construction of images.
Arises again from its founders the need, both as debt themselves, to see published one volume with the honors that he deserves the language of the comic, currently in this tropical land is scarce and thus we to fill this gap in the visual arts and graphics reinforce traditional cultural values that occur in Venezuela.
In short, PT is good to see printed in the mink role of artists and writers participating in it and want to perpetuate the graphic language.
It is an excuse to attract sequential graphic production, writing stories and literature if not enlightened.
Latin America is portraying through the chart.
Is to open a timeless space that allows to talk about what is happening at present.
It is a sort of treaty as a character vital. Is humanity.
Black and white, full machete.
Culture is to look through the comic.
PT now seeks to recover what has been sleeping in our Latin American culture, or as someone said at some point …. a culture indo-european-afro-american…
PT is Comic, and Comic is culture. Is to meet again after so long, joking and kicking ass. Is the use of a particular language, funny words, past tone, strong, heavy… in some ways a tribute to the story with sequential images.
¨We must create a world between two screams.¨
Over and out.

My friend and partner in Zircons, my comrade of many adventures Gustavo Rugeles, has just published its site, Kumo-Z, that I helped to develop.
So far, Kumo-z is a space to show some of Gustavo R. Rugeles G.´s formal works for clients and experimental projects. He is a visual artist proficient in drawing, with knowledge in painting, illustration, photography and motion graphics. He has been attracted to the elements of image construction, consequently, drawing had became his primary language and discipline that he uses to explore the possibilities to define an idea or concept. As a drawer he experience with different graphic techniques such as etching, mezzotint, xylography and experimental. Currently he resides in Beijing – China developing a project about interaction between drawing and painting called ¨Desintegrations¨ that combines fluid charcoal lines with strong acrylics gesture strokes on canvas which focuses in the study of the anatomy of characters. Co-founder of Zircons, an audiovisual arts collective. Currently they are working on a experimental sequential art project called ¨Perro Tureco¨.

Gustavo Rugeles and I (P3P510) we were invited to participate in the edition #5 of the Italian magazine of art FEFÈ, the concept of this edition was “It Wasn´t Planned”
It was a difficult task to give a graphic concept to “IT WASN’T PLANNED” due to the several meanings of the expression itself.
We thought about some keywords to develop this graphic proposal and we came up with a question: -How do we propose something that WASN’T PLANNED? – Precisely, every design work requires a previous plan before its execution but in many cases, we may come across unexpected things or elements beyond our prevision that change our initial plan and the conditions of the same. These events are also part of what we have planned. If we take all these elements into account, we might say that every creative process allows a specific amount of surprise elements, by chance or by casualties within its execution, this appeals to us because unplanned situations always result to be more interesting and even better. There is a particular phrase from where we come which suggests that when an individual acts freely, just like water does, therefore water has not have a certain destination, it places on unexpected places adapting to the circumstances. We find a similarity in this perception.
The graphic proposal that we have developed makes use of the “surprise” concept confronted with the vision of a non-human character. He contemplates the city, with the feelings generated by his own will, as a result of the modern system of life that has nourished mankind. By using the word city we suggest a chaotic order, soaked.
We confronted the composition opposing two principal elements, the machine character and the city. On the one hand, we emphasize the unexpected feeling, the conscience and the reflection of the character, on the other hand the maximum result of the chaotic urban orders of the city.
