GOLD
30 March 2010, Malaga
I drove almost 600 km to Malaga and changed the timid spring of Castile to the warm breeze of the Mediterranean. I decided it was the safest way to take my big drawings to the gallery for framing and photographing - and I wanted to do the first big voyage in my new golden Chevy Cruze. Hitting the road was relaxing as I set the cruise control in 140km per hour and let Carmen of the GPS guide me and Charlotte Gainsbourg sing me something like this: And these paintings that we paint do they mean anything to the people we're painting them to tonight they do When I arrived to the Costa del Sol, I had lunch with Antonella and Cecilio in a white canopy bed of a hip beach restaurant. Then we went to look for materials for the DIY Molotov cocktail multiple we are preparing for the limited edition luxury version of the exhibition catalog and we also had a studio photo session for my catalog portrait and then we planned the installation, the neon sign, the Santa action and other stuff. The night caught me by surprise because nobody had warned me that the Holy Monday was such a big thing in Malaga. We tried to go the center by Cecilio's BMW Z3 but couldn't park it anywhere and we had to return to his place and cab back to the packed city. We had better luck with the dinner and ate some huevos rotos con bacalao with a perfect view to the processing gold-covered Virgins. The Catholic church uses its gold to impress people, but when I saw the Christians peeing in the corner, I thought that Lenin had a better idea for the gold - he wanted to use it for the purpose of building public lavatories.
AL-QAEDA SEX BOMB
26 March 2010, Cervera de los Montes
Aim gonna fire shoot me right I'm gonna like the way you fight So I can't deny or lie cause you're the only one to make me fly Sexbomb Sexbomb you're a Sexbomb And baby you can turn me on I'm reading that Al-Qaeda has invented a boob bomb. Female homicide bombers are being fitted with exploding breast implants that are almost impossible to detect. The new Al Qaeda tactic involves the insertion of explosives in women's breasts during plastic surgery - making them virtually impossible to detect by the airport scanning machines. I don't know if this is true or a hoax but I would have wanted to invent this for a drawing. Sadly, I believe that the guys working for Al-Qaeda are much more creative and innovative than me or maybe even any other artist. Without breasts there is no paradise.
POISON THE ENEMY'S CANDY
25 March 2010, Cervera de los Montes
I finished the large scale drawing Poison the Enemy's Candy. Poisons are substances that can cause disturbances to organisms, usually by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale, when a sufficient quantity is absorbed by an organism. The image is from Haribo Cream Kiss confectionery. I don't know if it's poisonous but it looks like it or at least nobody would notice if a terrorist would poison it. I buy lots of candy because I need the wrappings for my material but I try to hide the things that come inside - I woudn't like to give them to my daughter. But would I give them to my enemy's kids?

SMASH THE OLD WORLD, ESTABLISH A NEW WORLD
18 March 2010, Cervera de los Montes
The government of the People's Republic of China has set up a system of internet censorship, intending to block internet users within Mainland China from accessing material deemed undesirable, such as foreign news sites, sites with dissident political content, many Hong Kong and Taiwanese websites, and pornography. One part of the block is to remove some websites from search results on search engine. This is an incomplete list of the censored words and some of them are hilarious or maybe the translation has lost the dangerous content and context.
Armageddon, blocking, bomb, bug, buy corpses, cat abuse, continuing revolution, crime against humanity, communist bandits, democracy, despotism, dictatorship, erotic movies, essence, evil, exile, fallacy, fetus soup, genocide, handmade pistol, heresy, hire a killer to murder one's wife, Hitler, homosexuality, human rights, hunger strike, mascot, naked, nuclear bomb, oppression, orphanage, Paris riots, playboy, political persecution, political successor, red terror, reeducation through labor, right to strike, sexual massage, torture, traitor, tsunami.
