The day after christmas.
The little guy at the left is a “tió”. He is the one that brings presents to the catalan children.
Well, actually he “shits” the presents and sweets…
He is a magical log. Normally is just a piece ofe wood with a painted face, a hat and a scarf, but mine got this cute papier mache face (it is a puppet, in fact, not a “real” log)
Children keep him warm and feed him during the advent time. On christmas eve, they hit the poor guy with sticks and sing songs. Then, the “tió” defecates the christmas sweets and presents.
Yes, I know. We are a very scatological people…but it’s fun, anyway.
Merry christmas, and happy new year…

Fiddler in Killarney.
It looks like a church, but was an old pub. Guiness, Bulmers and music, nice combination.

A little solstice dream.

My Ionic Islands…

A little robin in my garden (sometimes I think they are some kind of earth spirits…)
In spanish they are “petirrojos” (red-chest). The little chests burn like flames in the winter landscape…

Two Strikes, Lakota.
From an Edward S. Curtis image.
(That´s what I do in the afternoon)

A little house in Ithaki, the land of Ulises.
More drawings of the beautiful summer.

Paxi, in the Ionic Islands (Greece)
Another beautiful summer…

A hiden “campi” (little square) in Venice.
With a hiden well and a hiden cat.
It was a beautiful summer…

A green man.
THE Green Man.
I think that it’s a very apropiate drawing for a begining (of my new Moleskine…)
