it looks like a huge electrified triple fence decorated with barbed wire
that is how it looks like in Melilla, a spanish colony city in the northern coast of Morocco

after one month of radio silence it is time for the long awaited
YEARLY UPDATE
for me that means spending the freezing month of february
doing boring photo stitching, video editing and random sketching while waiting for the spring
for you it means, being able to see the last projects well ordinated in few simple pages, like
this and this.
and some sketches here

on a scale from one to ten, how  boring is that?
10³

luckily
soon the painting season will open again

The next wall has a long and interesting history behind.
It is the space of F.O.R.A. Federacion Obrera Regional Argentina (Argentine Regional Workers’ Federation)
the first labor confederation in Argentina, founded in 1901
