Sooooooo.

One month no updates, eh? Yah, I know. Sorry. Been tough days.

So, after much struggling and piles and piles of more homework, it turns out the government didn't approve enough budget for our college. We are currently in a deficit of approx. 30 million bucks (which, in our coin terms, is a lot of money) and riots and blockades started. Marches were made, and ensured a budget addition of 100 million dollars, but that's all the pricks are going to give us for next year. That means, we will be in the next situation next year.

Yay.

Also, due to torrential rains, everything here flooded and lost almost all of my paintings >.< They got soaking wet and smeared.

Yay.

In more cheerful news, I recently went to this art event called ArtBo, a gathering of art galleries here in Bogotá. There were great artists, but, regrettably, modern art is very often overestimated. What's the artistic content of a bunch of dried up concrete and a shovel sticking out of it? Why would anyone sell it for 1500 dollars? What is the goal of making a series of technically amazing pencil portraits when they have nothing to say? What does 3 pink round papers (CHEAP paper) glued on a wall mean? I've always said that good art strikes a perfect balance between concept and technique, (or like mom says, form and content), and there were some serious sores in that gallery. Either great technique and zero concept, or viceversa.

Oh well. Guess that makes things easier for me now, eh?

As you may have realized already, it's raining cats and dogs here. Is non-stop. Rains all day long, and it rains hard. All our leaks have been averted, but our college library (harboring over 20 thousand volumes) which had recently been rebuilt (at a staggering cost) flooded. So there. We have cash to waste in a remodeling that doesn't even work, but apparently we don't have money for the students. Boo hoo. Well, at least we are STILL, and DESPITE EVERYTHING, the best college in this motherfucking country.

Leaving some things for next journal, stay tuned.

Not much. I'm a fierce videogame enthusiast, but only find myself in nirvana when I'm arting around. I love speedpaints, and I've become good at them. I've got so many that I would break dArt server! (I'm gonna post them all someday x)) I am getting around to Digital Art, and I hope to become good someday. I practice at least 2 hours a day, and I'm fond of ink and pencil stuff. You'll notice most of my work is on squared paper. Well, that's almost the only thing to work on I have =)

I am 21, from Colombia, with crooked teeth and glasses. I take pride on not fitting anywhere on society, because it makes me more versatile in terms of friendships. I wear neutral colors ALWAYS and my loyal companion is my MP3 player.

There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty; bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence, of blue and grey.
