Hello, hello, here is a visitor from my sketchbook!

Oh boy, December is a crazy month! I am putting together my business plan for next year.. you know, budget, promos, mailing lists, goals.. and new website coming too!

If you've seen my work and know that we can work together in some future projects shoot me an HOLA to info@alediaz.com. Also if you just like the crazy stuff that I do, I would love to hear fom you!

"The Bearded Swing"

So, I was invited to participate in a 1 night art show at the CD release party for Friendly Rich and the Lollipop People... I've never heard of Friendly Rich before, and what can I say.... me (and the whole audience) watched a guy "lit his torch" (light his dick on fire!)

The Mexican Day of the Death

18 skulls speak about death

1665 Dundas Street West

Toronto, ON

What is the day of the death?

I would give anything to have the opportunity to spend November 1st and 2nd on the streets of mexico city, looking at the streets colored with flowers and candy, walking up to whichever market and look at all the sugar and chocolate skulls of all sizes, staring back at me, to buy one of medium size with my name on it and get high on sugar. It is quite the sight...

According to tradition it is easier on November 1st and 2nd for your deceased family members and friends to cross over, so offerings are made with thier favourite foods, drinks and toys so that they can come and enjoy a dinner with us, the living...

... words are small... the Day of the Death is so much more than this... it is not being affraid to get close and personal with death... it is a cultural thing...

4 skulls done.. in the mood for 12 more!!

"The Mexican Day of the Death" Whether you've heard of it or not... its sounds pretty darn crazy! Come, come to see the 20 skulls I've prepared for you! There are 2 events, one Monday November 2 and another Thursday November 5, as the invitation below shows. I will be there for both!

I hope to see you all there, if no, come show shome love on my guest book during the month of November during which the show will be running!

Ahhhhhh, I found a little mexican corner for my mexican heart! NACO Cafe Gallery will be showcasing some of my Day of the Death work. Most of my remaining October will be spent creating some good stuff! Stay tunned for teasers and shoot me a message if you are interested

in obtaining a printed invite!

An abstract piece I just finished called "Winter Trees". Also one of my submissions to the Hillebrand Artist Series contest.

Wonderful! My "square foot show" piece got sold. BYE BYE. Special thanks to the Purchaser. You are a contribution to my growth as an artist. THANK YOU!

"The Dynamics of Flying" was inspired by my two pet ducks who filled 9 years of my life with happiness! I hope this piece is making someone very happy as well.
