Adoption Billboard

Billboard proposal.
Decisions are still being made on weather this will be a "adopt a friend" ad or if it will be more focused on why people shouldn't buy pets from the store or breeders. Meanwhile, this is what I came up with.

Neither Man nor Beast

cow - bitch - pussy - chick - bird - fox
why is it that when women are compared to animals it's always about sexual attributes or sexual behaviour - but when men are compared to animals it's about their personality (and when they are called the same animal names used for a woman it mean's they're Gay - pussy, bitch...) - why can't we also have a "Lion's Heart" or be called a Bitch because we're loyal and not because we're in heat or are submissive or 'bark too much'?

Viana do Castelo is now the first anti-bullfighting city in Portugal

Words cannot express how proud I am that - finally - someone in charge did the right thing. Too bad it wasn't Lisbon the first (hehe) but I hope we will get there one day.

The mayor of the city decided to close down the Bullfighting Arena and build a Science Museum instead - who would have though ey? Real culture instead of barbarism! - and now he officially said that Viana do Castelo is an anti-bullfighting city.

And this is the Mayor's email - cmviana@cm-viana-castelo.pt - please email Dr Moura to congratulate his choice, he's gonna need all the positive feedback because the aficcionados will surely send him hate mail.

The Crypt exhibition, Jan 09

I wish I had taken proper photographs of it but I was too ill by the opening day and now that piece is a bit damaged by the dampness of the Crypt - so I had to cut out a new one.
It's smaller but I like it better:

working on something new.

When you spend a lot of time working on set briefs with little challenges and premeditated outcomes you forget how creative you can be.
It's kind of nice not knowing what your final outcome will be. Or what materials you are going to use.

So I'm working on a new project (project 3 - but 1 and 2 are still in progress) - and these are some images I did for the theme - rough ideas I had for it today - yet it might not take this direction...





I'm also really excited because in 2 days I'll be returning to Portugal for Xmas - yey!
