Moleskine: Calico Sculptures

Jasper Holding #15, #16 and #13, #14

Once upon a time I received a fresh Moleskine from a Flickr contact of mine, Calicojane. It was a very kind gesture of her. I promised to work on something new on the book. Its easy to decide to do something inspired by her. A little I know of Calicojane, but what I can get from her flickr stream, I know she is a lover of nature.

Always been fascinated by small structural/sculptural work, using materials from nature, I once dreamed of a sculpture series... build with sticks and stones, branches and twines... pieces of wood, leather strips and bones, and all the the good stuff.

I called them Calico Sculptures. Let's hope someday I will have time and resources to actually build them. There are few more of this on my flickr stream

Moleskine: DoPeople

If you are what you eat, What if you are what you do? Here you are.
I have been working on this book for a while, a design and illustration of people shaped by what they do.They are what they do, their task reshape their life, from the way the live to the way they become. The change happens slow of course, from the outfitting, physical modification from extending limbs to sensory enhancement to pure and engineered mutation. These are some of the completed drawing, I have few more in rough sketches and many more still run loose and evolving in my dreams.

Expiatori Sutra I

Moleskine Japanese accordion book
31 panels (each 9 x 14 cm (3½ x 5½"), including back of front cover.

Expiatory Sutra I is a collaboration between me and extrodinary artis friend of mine Venantius Pinto. We simultaneously each began working in a Japanese Accordion Moleskine, starting the thread–very much as in an exquisite corpse. An ideas formulated by Venantius, Expiatory Sutra I was begun by me then passed between us several times; it was an exploratory dynamic that we continue exploring with the second Sutra. We finished both books at the same time and had a dinner exchange. I am to keep Sutra I. Venantius, Sutra II. Completed work can be seen at Venantius' Flickr.
