Hello! A glorious Tuesday to ya!
I traveled home for Easter weekend and found a photo that speaks of more inspiration for this piece that's been hanging out waiting communicate.
Barcelona, in 2005 I spent the year walking the majority of the center of that city and sometimes all the way north on Diagonal all the way up towards Pedralbes where I was living. El Born, Barcelonetta, Gracia each one a delicious mix for all the senses!Everyone knows or has an idea of the woven divinity of architecture, centuries, humanity and our methods of existence that shape shift through every street of that great city.
The graffiti there too, is alive. As I walked the streets over and over through the months, publicly and governmentally supported graffiti would evolve or be completely erased and a fresh work would be there. This was before I had a digital camera and I, so sadly, only have a few treasured pics of my time there. Here is a picture of one of my favorites that was never changed while I was there. I came to really love it. It was just west of the Bocarilla.

Follow the process as the images emerge! Each one takes about 4 hours to draw out and complete. I'm using recycled clothing.
