Sleepy People in FIU
I was looking through my art supplies to make new product descriptions when I ran into this sketchbook. I could not find the brand for it, so instead I decided to feature it in the blog. I bought this in FIU around 2009. I was bored in class, and the teacher did not allow computers in class. It seems a bit juvenile that teachers continue with the same nonsense even in college. After all, students and Uncle Sam are paying for the classes. Who cares if they want to waste their time and not pay attention? Frankly, college felt like...
Colorful Skulls in a Stand
This is a nice little stand featuring a bunch of smiling skulls. Different people have different ideas about the human skulls. The Mexican culture prefers to decorate it. I don't really know why. Maybe it is a Day of the Dead things. Perhaps, they get decorated as so because outsiders consider those reliquaries as purely Mexican. If people buy them, they will make them. People dependent on tourism ponder off their cultures and beliefs to make a buck. Some things cannot be helped. People need to eat to survive and sometimes surviving is not enough. People enjoy having nice things....
Kite Surfer in Miami Beach
A few years ago I took this random photo of a kite surfer dude. I tried to frame it in a way that featured him and the kite. It is usually fun to try to see them dock.

They usually are already getting about by the time I arrive. They must start their little games early in the morning. The photo was a bit crooked, so...
Be What You Dream Photo
While in Miami Beach I saw this cool mural on a wall. I am not certain if it is still there or not. I also do not remember where I saw this. I tend to take a lot of photos and only now I bothered to look through them. It was something I did to pass the time in the beach. I never did like swimming in the beach. Aside from waiting for the time to pass, there was not much for me to do. I am afraid of fishes. That point aside, here is the cool mural. It has...
Flowers in the Lobby
This is a photo I took of flowers in a lobby. I was waiting to enter a restaurant inside a hotel. One can tell plenty about a place based on their attention to detail. These are true flowers. They had a faint fragrant smell, with a lovely texture as well. I like flowers, it is always nice to see the real deal instead of the plastic ones. I do not know what type of flower this is. Lately, for my poetry books I decided to paint a fancy cover. I do not have much experience with paints. During one of...
