“I remember meeting my friend Daniela a while ago. I had last seen her and Armando –both mesmerizing tango dancers–, in Pittsburgh in 2005. Years later, I reconnected with her in October of 2008, and went to her apartment for a few lessons. As I learned my way through , I slowly gained more confidence in the world of tango.”

A collage of memories, a collage of references!

The of turning my Unrealistic life into a memoir included lots of –by myself, with my friends, sometimes in a positive, creative light and other times in a much more frustrating one. I found a to be a wonderful tool for a somewhat organized : an external brain you’ll always be able to go back to and get the ideas flowing once again. Highly recommend!

I’d love to share more of my process in the upcoming days!

Layouts are fun!

One of the greatest joys of is that you get to do whatever you want! I wanted my memori book to be dynamic, fun, just as energic as the many stories it contains. Flowy layouts, ripped photos, colorful and beyond.

Staying on topic with art, this is one of my favorite quotes–and a small sneak peek of what you can find in my book: an existence lived as if it were a work of art.

This weekend, my Spontaneous Unrealistic took me to wonderful, unplanned places, like a lovely at the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts . Here I am with David Madacsi, right next to his La Trahison des Objets.

Some other inspiring pieces I saw are Stardust Diner by Merill French, Newsies by Suzanne Starr, and Taking a Break by Christopher Zhang.

I hope you find these beautiful artworks as interesting as I did, and that art unexpectedly crosses your path in the same way it did mine!
