Fashion (for head) in 2050




I’d wonder how the near future will be in many areas. Today I'm doing a prediction about which will be the dominant aesthetic in 2050 just before the Singularity arrives. 

One thing I know for sure: Everyone will be bald. I meant bald like a light bulb. Bald will be so sexy and irresistible. It is also needed to keep brain implants with easy access. Humans will still be trapped by tribal inertia and they will mix the new technology with body ornaments, tattoos, etc.

The way interface brain-computer is made will define the rest of the things. Neuralink proposes a solution with permanent implants inside the brain but removable batteries and software somewhere outside the skull. Additional hardware like VR glasses or other devices will very usual and in many ways.

New watercolor box



Despite I love my tiny metal box PEZ for watercolors I really want to add some new colors to the palette. During the last months I fell in love with the magic of Sepia and Phthalo Green so I had to expand the space for at least those godets.

Light and compact box are the main requirements. 12 godets box like Schmincke are so stylish. I love it  and I will write about its beauty soon. But it’s too heavy for traveling. It could take up to 21 godets and I don’t need so many colors.

I have another great metal box but it’s also quite big. And then I tried a little Muji plastic box. So perfect! By weird coincidence the 3 dimensions are EXACT for 10 godets. I can’t believe it. And it’s the lighter option.

These are the colors:

  Permanent Lemon Yellow 254 Van Gogh
  Cadmium Yellow Hue Winson & Newton
  Yellow Ochre 744 Winson & Newton
  Light Oxide Red (English Red) 399 Van Gogh
  Sepia Winson & Newton
  Cadmium Red Hue Winson & Newton
  Phthalo Green 675 Van Gogh
  Turquoise Winson & Newton
  Indigo Winson & Newton
  Payne's Grey Winson & Newton

Of course watercolor peace if not reachable. It's an evolution so I will welcome improvements.

Tiny frames made in Bangkok



As I use to say "There are many Thailands inside Thailand". This also applies to Bangkok. My dear Bangkok. My favourite city in the world.

Moving from one neighbourhood to another is same as visiting a different place. Bangkok is huge, unattainable. Here just a few pieces, one in each color matching the feeling: Indigo for the new face of modern Bangkok as Mahanakhon building, sepia for temple atmosphere and Payne's grey when a big storm is near.


Happy Chinese New Year



I wish you a lot, a lot of money for you all!
And love?
No, no... Only money! :)


The hilarious stories of The Captain



Captain was born to be captain since day one.
His authority depends on his beard.
Taking care of his beard and acting like a captain fill captain's life.

But not all is about living on board. Captain also goes to the cinema, dates and rolls down from a mountain. Daily life.




Ups! A rhino... Run captain! 
And that's the unexpected captain's end.
