Love me!

Over the last days, there was much love pain in the air around me…
no, not me neither Kevin suffering, but somebody very close to me…
it hurts a lot!
A quiet moment on the balcony
April 20, 2009 — Miki
A short time ago we finished watching the American series
“Boston legal”
and I must say that it is one of my favourite series all time, perhaps even THE favourite.
I love the humour in it, and more than anything I love the friendship between the two male main characters, “Alan Shore” and “Denny Crane”.
As the series was finished, it was really sad for me, as if I was losing some friends of mine…
So, the best way to get them back now is to spend some time with them, making their portraits. I wanted to catch them both in this wonderful moment they were spending on their balcony, smoking a cigar, at the end of each episode, and sharing wise thoughts about themselves and the world. I started with Alan, Denny will follow soon.
My God, how I miss these
quiet moments on their balcony!

Recalculating the Route
April 10, 2009 — Miki
I am participating again in a contest organised by the Infectious people. They are making skins for laptops, ipods, iphones, etc, and are regularly organising competitions open to all artists. We are invited to submit works with special themes. 2 weeks ago I participated in
and this time to “Big Cities”.
I have just submitted 2 works, one about Paris (noblesse oblige), and one about Lisbon.
The real aim is to develop a skin for the laptops, something which “rocks” – but they also want us to make an appropriate presentation work of the laptop with the skin. This is perhaps the part I most enjoy in the story! Well here I did enjoy imagining Vasco de Gama sitting at my skinned laptop and recalculating his route…
The laptop skin – the work I have entered in the competition – is the following
This work is a combination of several sketches I did last summer in Lisbon. I literally fell in love with that city, I loved the bridge, the discoverers monument, the trams (no, in Lisbon the trams don’t run on water.,,) , the old people striding the streets, the black umbrellas against the sun and the flags everywhere!
I have no idea as to whether this design will be accepted as an entry in the contest, but I don’t really care:
FOR ME THIS IS LISBON AND I LOVE IT!
Shoes to Celebrate Life
April 3, 2009 — Miki
I have been working at Goodaboom’s Boutique these last 2 days, and I must say that I have a lot of fun designing all these products featuring my artwork. I have created mugs, postcards, magnets, keychains, and even aprons and ties! It is somehow very touching to see the own art on all these products.
But the most extraordinary thing I have done was to create these shoes, based on my Fantascape painting “Celebration of Life”, which has brought me many professional satisfactions (Giclee Print sales) since I have done it. I couldn’t resist to see how the image works on shoes, and well, I must say that I like it a lot! Quite crazy, of course, but so was the painting too!
I wonder now if somebody in this world will be crazy enough to buy them! But if somebody does, she (he?) should purchase the passing keychain and tie too
All this in Goodaboom’s Boutique…
Easter Eggs from Planet Goodaboom
April 2, 2009 — Miki
Some days ago (or was it weeks? No, I haven’t; got the mad cow… it;s just, when one lives in Spain, one totally loses the notion of time!)
anyway some time ago I presented to you my first Easter eCard. I have made some more in the meanwhile, not as many as I wished, I was very busy with others things more important right now. But well, I think I have enough eggs for you if you like this kind of stuff!
Yesterday I have started creating
the shop from Planet Goodaboom. One can buy a lot of stuff there featuring Planet Goodaboom’s Art and Music:
US stamps, many different kind of mugs, ties, postcards, posters, buttons, fridge magnets, etc…
I will gradually add many products, but for now, I have decided to start with what is actual. So, if you are interested in purchasing some of our Goodaboom Eggs,
