Meet Gorretti Pina, she is an author  and designer in Lisbon, Portugal and also my cousin. Her brother who passed away a few years ago, was also a great and renowned artist. Yes, the arts run in my family – both parents side. So, even if I wanted to, I could not escape it. She has written two books, poetry and fiction and is making her mark across the portuguese world. I hope to see her showcasing her collections one day in a major runway show.

WiFi, It Is Art!

“Luis Hernan set up a system that turned the wireless signals around him into colorful, ghostlike images using long-exposure photography, allowing people to see the strength of the signals around them.”  Yes, it is art. Have fun. The works of artist Luis Hernan. Click here for some more art.

Starbucks had a contest going until May 11 and it said, “design a beautiful cup and if we like it, we may feature it in our next tumbler.” So, I did. Here are pictures of the three designs I submitted. Miracles do happen, I heard. So, good luck to me I guess. #WhiteCupContest
