Hello,
I was sun burnt to a peeling corpse after my San Blas Islands trip 2 weeks ago.
NASTY!
I have been staying inside in the shade and painting. And NO... I don't go get burnt often just to make myself productive.
Here is what I have done in the last 2 weeks. The first two are done with nothing more than earth...DIRT. The next two are my trademark style (if I ever dare pigeon-hole myself to say that...OUCH!).
I think one can see all are heavily tribal influenced after my Kuna Yala tribe excursion.

PLEASE...this is an informal invitation/ inspiration to all you that are artists and work your ass off and never seem to get anywhere. I know how it is....
PLEASE READ ON! (non-artists too)
This may be something you want to consider trying or keep tabs on until you feel comfortable enough to take a risk and throw yourself into something wacky.
The area of Panama City I am creating my artwork in is called Casco Viejo, which is the San Felipe district. It was declared a UNESCO Heritage Site in 1997. The blue and green house in this picture are my neighbours and yet, across the street is a pristine mansion covering an entire block.

Here is the link to a short NY Times article published September 14, 2008 about this area.

You won't see this shiz in the Ministry building Canada kids!
That's right.
This project is so large-scale in the fastest growing city in the Americas, which is also an International banking city, I don't think I can downplay the potential here.
So if you want to come down, where food is $2.00 a meal, accommodation is $12.00 a night at Luna's Castle, beer is a $1.00, and art supplies are available, bring your business cards and stay a while. I'm sure there's plenty of contact aside from my project.
PEACE and thank you again for the continued support. I hope you enjoy the new art.
Regards,
