Lucas 30/10/2006

Well...I'm leaving to Tokyo in 10 minutes and I decided I should do the blog thing before...lately I find interesting to write about the tattoo sessions for everyone of them is different, in this case my client is Lucas who's been through some drama with cancelations at the last minute...my fault...anyways I'm in such a hurry right now that I don't think the comments I wrote do this piece justice...I can feel that there's something new on this lines...and no matter how much I say, at the end the work should speak for itself...nothing more boring then try to explain one's own artistic work , but it is fun to tell about the journey....and to be honest the only thing I was thinking as I was staring at his arm on this picture was..."WHAT AM I GONNA DO NOW?"....

CHAPADA DIAMANTINA 21/10/2006

Well...it's been almost a week since I got back from Bahia...tattooing everyday and finishing too late I was unable to do the blog thing during the week...the trip that started as 2 friends driving 2000km to attend a wedding became an unexpected, unforgettable and grounding journey full of "coincidences","dreams" and "sightings" through one of the most special parts of the country the CHAPADA DIAMANTINA...thinking now of the places I visited,the people I met and the conversations we had I can only say that as a brazilian having to deal with the mediocrity, greed and incompetence of the politicians running this country and the consequences of such minds with so much power I still feel privileged to be born in this part of the planet...for every second of this trip my connection with the earth and the sky made me sure of one thing only..."THAT ALL IS WELL AND I AM AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME..."to the spirits that looked after us at Chapada Diamantina THANKYOU...
