I eat a banana every night before going to sleep, so hunger won't wake me up at night. A few days ago I wanted to do an experiment with the scraps of one i didn't finish. It turned slowly into beautiful shades of black and brown. Before it rotten completely and filled my room with all sorts of hungry feasting animals, I took the picture of it. Almost painterly like, every shade and color was captured just as I saw it in my head. Un cadaver exquisito.

Gonsalves is another ilustrator I admire a lot. Foud out about him through the community and his designs up on threadless. When I started searching his work I was left in aw by the amount of stuff his done. Mostly ilustration, Andy has a cartoony, retro style. I have an aaawesome threadless tee he did and finally took a picture of it. See it below.

It's just paper
1896 $5 Educational Fr-269 VF30 S/n 25139605
The United States’ most beautiful piece of paper money, this note features an allegorical depiction of Electricity as the Dominant force in the world. The lavish vignette was originally drawn by Walter Shirlaw and hangs on the wall in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Thomas Morris redesigned the bill itself, and G.F.C. Smilie engraved the figures. The back features the heads of two Civil War generals: Ulysses S. Grant and Phillip Sheridan, flanked on all sides by ornate engraving.The female figure representing Electricity is clad in flowing robes, revealing a bare breast. This partial nudity was said to cause a disturbance nationwide, with Anthony Comstock, Secretary of the Society for Suppression of Vice, pressuring the U.S. Treasury to withdraw our obscene notes. Three years later, entirely new designs were issued replacing the controversial Educational series.

What? My work? My work will always be about you and about me!... about anarchists, fortune-tellers, fleeing kings blasphemers and mutineers. Also about fire starters, and threatened witches. And luminaries and other artists. Thieves, (those poets), biologists and sexologists. First-grade teachers married with journalists and the priests that became atheists. Poets and wall painters, but not as much as it is about tall dwarves, black cats, color visionaries and survivors from shipwrecks. People with odd limps, dust in road humps, Light-bulbs changers, professional vagabonds, perfect stammers, and spontaneous mutes. It is about looking and seeing and seeing and looking (for). It is about being secretly, secretly happy.
Here is the illustration that got me going.
Here is my 2011 updated resumé.
