Dat 29 “A self-portrait as my Mom”
This is a photo my grandmother took, my mother was my age when this picture was taken, around 22 years old. I Photoshoped my eyes into this image - I came to this idea after looking deeply into the original picture. It remind me what people used to say to me while I was growing up. “You got the eyes of your mother”. Big and brown and expressive.

Day 28 “Just bounce it”
The anxious leg bounce: You can irritate others too. Just bounce it.
Leg bouncing, also called leg tapping, leg jiggling, leg shaking, and “that annoying thing you do with your leg” describes the habit of moving one leg up and down at speed while sitting.
It happens everywhere, all around you. It can be subtle or powerful enough to make the entire bank of desks in the office feel the tremors. You choose.
#JustBounceIt
The secret to being a bouncer is to buildup of surplus stress hormones in the body, namely adrenaline and cortisol.

Day 24 “Gay Liberation Day”
The 1970 Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day March. When we hear of Pride marches today, we tend to think of fuss and feathers, of men more than half-naked waving from rainbow-hued, Lurex-draped parade floats, of Dykes on Bikes who gun their motors in defiance of gender norms, of waving gay and trans celebrities. But Pride was not always so celebratory: for a long time, it was a radical assault on mainstream values, a means to defy the belief that homosexuality was a sin, an illness and a crime, that gay people were subhuman.
The people gathered in these photos reflect a time when it took tremendous courage to march. They were breaking the only tested model then available for queers, which was secrecy.
Christopher Street Liberation Day on June 28, 1970, which was the first Gay Pride march in New York history, and covered the 51 blocks to Central Park.

Day 23 “Coca Wine”
Coca Wine. For Fatigue of Mind and Body. This wine is most beneficial in ceses where you’re having a good time with your friends and family. Coca Wine is the most powerful nerve tonic. It increases the fun, promotes good times and produces ecstasy. 
I think by now most of us have heard the story about our world-famous soft drink, Coco-Cola, once containing a significant dose of cocaine until it was removed from the recipe in 1903. But lesser known is the story about how Coca Cola originates from an alcoholic drink based on cocaine and wine, Bordeaux wine to be specific– a particular combination which made for a distinctly more toxic beverage, known as Coca Wine. During the second half of the 19th century, everyone was drinking the stuff. Even the Pope was getting high off the alcoholic and drug-infused cocktail that would spend the following century cleaning up its act to become the world’s most iconic household brand.
So while all of society along with its most prominent figures were getting really, really high on Mariani’s Coca Wine, the market grew and more copycat brands inspired by the recipe emerged.
In 1880s Georgia, a pharmacist named John Pemberton developed a popular American beverage based on Mariani’s version, called Pemberton’s French Wine Coca. When his home state passed the *Prohibition legislations in 1886, Pemberton scrambled to come up with a non-alcoholic version replacing the wine with a syrup and naming it Coca Cola.
As the growing fear of drug abuse made coca-based drinks less popular, Pemberton’s successors preemptively took the cocaine out of his drink (at least most of it) in 1903, 11 years before the drug was officially banned in 1914, forcing Vin Mariani and other Coca Wine brands out of business and off the menu forever. Meanwhile, Coca Cola went on to become America’s favourite beverage.
Despite strong historical evidence, the Coca-Cola Company officially denies the presence of cocaine in any of its products — past or present.
The idea is to bring Coca Wine to the market again. This time without the actually drug. But bringing back Coca-Cola containing alcohol. 
*Prohibition legislations in 1886: Prohibition in the United States was a nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages from 1920 to 1933.

(NOT FINISHE...D)
Nummer Zes is about desire and scale, about the things we wish for feeling too big for our wallets, homes, or hearts. The artist pursues the piano, but he can never quite possess it, only play upon its keys. The film suggests a wider contemporary cultural malaise, in which the grand emotions experienced seemingly so easily by the 19th century Romantics seem impossible to access in our own age for more than a few fleeting moments. And yet, van der Werve still searches them out, because, really, what else is he to do? He has said that ‘I think most artists have a way of finding their own reality, and in my case it happened to be [19th Century] Romanticism. I’m sure that if I would have lived in that time I would have been just as miserable as now’. This, I suspect, is the true punch-line of Nummer Zes’ black joke: you can change the scenography, but you can’t change yourself. All you can hope for is rainbows in unexpected places, or cosmoses opening up on your cheap lino floor.

Day 17 “Amsterdam Girls”
Tumblr media
Foam presents at this moment the unique portraits by American photographer Remsen Wolff in the exhibition Amsterdam Girls.
The exhibition presents more than 50 vintage portraits and contact prints from the analogue archive of the American photographer Remsen Wolff (1940-1998). From 1990 to 1992, Wolff spent one month each year at the American Hotel in Amsterdam to work on the project Special Girls - A Celebration. For this project, Wolff made a series of portraits of transgender people in New York and in Amsterdam.
These unique portraits range from the exuberant and glamorous to the subdued and vulnerable. Together, the photographs show the huge variety in gender fluidity in the 1990s, beyond the spotlight of notorious nightclubs such as Club RoXY and iT.
Wolff encountered people from the transgender community in nightclubs, on the street, through friends and with a call in Gay Krant. The individuals posing for Wolff’s camera vary from celebrated figures such as Jet Brandsteder (a.k.a. Francine), Hellun Zelluf and Vera Springveer (regular performers in clubs like RoXY and Mazzo), to anonymous transgender people who experimented and sometimes struggled with their gender identity in daily life. A session often lasted 6 to 8 hours and the models were photographed as they preferred to be portrayed.

Day 17 “Amsterdam Girls”
Tumblr media
The things body won’t tell. In transition, one’s gender identity may feel so nebulous, so unexternalized. The issue isn’t just that the truths trans bodies tell—the evidence of change inscribed on them, suggesting their previous forms and features—may not correspond to the felt truth of inhabiting such a body. It’s that, however closely we examine trans people and their bodies, the experiences written on them remain illegible from the outside. 
Has the person with breasts chosen not to pursue top surgery because their breasts are a part of their sense of self? 
Or was it because they couldn’t afford surgery, or were afraid of it, or didn’t know that it was an option? 
In our overwhelmingly cisgender society—one that is just beginning to forge a grammar for talking about trans experience—it can be tempting to present oneself in a way that is easily legible to others.

Paris is Burning
One word: Family. Paris is Burning shows us the reality of drag queens, a group of human beings and a mutual bond. “Oh, that’s my sister. Because she’s gay, too.” A home for those who ever felt rejected. This film shows us a community and their nuanced reflections. It confront us with the injustice of the world we live in.

#18 September “The Legendary Christ the Redeemer”
Funny because first I did not realize the briefing was talking about a cultural landscape so I just photoshop myself somewhere in California, without actually thinking about it at all. I thought i look cute, and was happy with the photoshop, until i went back and actually read about “cultural landscape”. I mean California is just a place for me where I would love to go someday and maybe live for a while at a certain point. 
I researched and i realized that Rio de Janeiro was awarded the World Heritage tag by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), gaining the title of the first urban cultural landscape World Heritage.
It’s not difficult to see why Rio was awarded this title. The urban setting blends with the surrounding natural landscapes, creating an extraordinary fusion of culture and nature that is hard to find anywhere else in the world. These features contribute to the city’s outdoor living culture and foster an urban environment with spellbinding natural beauty.
Rio was also recognized for the artistic inspiration it has provided for musicians, architects and landscapers. 
Rio de Janeiro is amazing, unfortunately I haven’t had the change to visit it yet. Growing up in São Paulo was a completely different environment, and landscape. Like i said before, i think there is such a beautiful blend between the urban and nature.

Day 12 
Bob goes Photoshop painting. “The Joy of Photoshop”.
What if Bob Ross went on with time, would he still be using the same old methods as he used to? What Kind of medium would he be using for his Show? For his show "The Joy of Painting" Bob Ross uses oil paints for his wet-on-wet technique.  
As many of you now, unfortunately Bob Ross died in 1995. What would the future of Bob Ross look like? This is a question that came to my mind. Would he adapt to new technology? Software as Photoshop, Illustrator and other methods of creation? 
I recreated his painting using a more advanced method used by our generation.
