Dear friends,
it has been a while since my last blog post, but unfortunately i have been away for some really bad reasons.
But i don't want to talk about that right now, the thing is, i have been a month in Portugal and while i was there, my good friend Quim asked me to paint a wall on his bar "Bora Bora". It wasn't easy to get some montana, but after a lot of internet searching we ordered some spray-cans and the result was this one, the pics are not the best ones but it is what i have :)
Hope you like it!
Once upon a time, a city.
A city with high buildings painted in many different colours, a city with a tree that was as high as the skyscrapers. In that city there were no cars, everyone arrived or left by air balloon, the sky was always blue, even when it snowed or rained, and the night never came.
On the top of the tree lived a whole village of small people, they never came down, they toke care of the tree, the tree gave the Skyscraper People air, and the Skyscraper People gave the little people food. This was a city in harmonie.
One day a strange fat man arrived by balloon. He had a high hat, a big moustache and with him e brought two really big leather cases. He called upon the people of the city and told them a sweet story about the capitalist world where he came from, a world where everyone was rich and living the dream, and that he wanted to bring this world to them. Then he told them to open the two leather cases, and inside them was paper - many little pieces of paper that the fat man called money. "With enough of this you can get whatever you want!" he said. But the Skyscraper people and the Little people didn't understand and told him that they were not interested, but that he was welcome to stay as long as he wished, that he could eat their food and refresh himself under the big tree, and then they left. And so did the fat man.
Not many days had passed, when the little people saw in the sky something that was not an air balloon. Hundreds of machines came by air and ground, making the city tremble. On the top of one of those machines was the fat man. He said that he knew about the weapons hidden under the big tree, and that he would not allow terrorism in the world. So he took the Skyscraper People that opposed his as his slaves and with his machines he felled the big tree and killed the little people. Then right away he started digging. Deep he went but no weapons were found. He kept digging for days and then something happened, a jitter of black thick liquid flew into the sky. The fat man and the capitalists all started laughing and for the first time night fell over the city.
Voldemort, The dark Lord, Tom Riddle, the one whom we do not speak of, The one who must not be named or you know who.... this guy has a lot of names. And as it is i am a big fan of the books and the movies, and J.K.Rowling's Potter world sure is one of the most fantastic I've ever come across. As always i have a little bit of liking of the bad guys :), i also love the good ones of course, don't be afraid, i am not all bad ;) Voldemort is of course a fantastic character, the way he is described in the books always made me feel like drawing him, this time i went for the cartoon/Comic like style, or maybe a little more street than comic, hmmmm.... well i really don't know which style it is, but i know that he is the Dark Lord, so if you see him around please do not let him know i made such a drawing of him, he is kind of scary and he has a huge snake and all that...
