One of the exercises my mentor has me to is to trace lines. Here I’m using a regular bic pen which we’ve attached to a coil machine, which I then turn on while I draw. Working against the weight and vibrations strengthens the muscles in my hand! 💪🏻
Hair Like Wool - Brian Fender(feat. Element Jetson)
Brian Fender was born with music in his blood! Raised in the tropical heat of South Florida the Jamaican-American actor, rapper, music producer and singer-songwriter has dedicated the entirety of his life to higher art. Resonating with the sounds, careers, and individualism of artists like Outkast and Lauryn Hill, a young Brian devoted himself to mastering multiple mediums. In high school he joined the choir and drama club while simultaneously teaching himself to play multiple instruments. After high school he was accepted into Marymount Manhattan College in New York, New York and graduated with a BA in Theater Arts. He spends his nights creating and performing in NY’s underground music scene, while his days are spent relentlessly alternating between auditions, rehearsals, and acting jobs. In 2019 Brian released his debut project “Florida Man,” a self produced collection of experimental songs that blur the lines between Hip-Hop, Reggae, and Alternative music. His name is one to know and his growing talent is one to watch, so don’t take your eyes off of newcomer Brian Fender.
Roberto Duperior was commissioned by Brian to create the cover art for this track.

Bio: “I was born in Cali, a city in Colombia, framed by a chain of green mountains and blue skies. As a child, my grandpa used to call me Zumbambico and I stuck to this nickname to sign my art.
Since a very early age, art became my main healing tool and the language I use to communicate with myself and those around me. I approach my craft in a very intuitive way, as every piece works as a ritual that allows me to release, give voice to my emotions, and transform them into something new. Consequently, process plays an essential role in my work. This is the moment when catharsis happens and I can simply be.
Coming from a society where both beauty and behavioral standards are imposed on women on a daily basis, my interest is to portray beings freed from these pressures and in full communion with their bodies and inner worlds.
My work has been exhibited in collective exhibitions in Bogotá, Barcelona, Lisbon, New York, and Rio de Janeiro. In 2019, I had my first solo show “Inner Landscapes” at Hae (Maastricht, The Netherlands), and in 2022, I exhibited my art at WALTZ, an event created in collaboration with poet Joshua Burton (Houston, TX).”

The pavilion featured a spectacular facade full of protuberances, vaguely reminiscent of the Pedrera building by Antoni Gaudí. The main door was flanked by two pillars representing two female legs wearing stockings and high-heeled shoes. Through the openings of the irregular façade, visitors could see reproductions of the Saint John the Baptist by Leonardo da Vinci and The Birth of Venus by Botticelli. Between the painter's initial ideas and the [...]
