For being the only one that has demonstrated physically to be capable of drawing using white noise and having the magic to make possible the complex thing by means of simplicity.

Ein Fressen fur den Psychiater
Today is the day. I have always considered myself to be a H.R. Giger fan, the prominent designer of the alien creature. Inspired by Salvador Dalí during the early years, he have always had a biomechanoid vision o our realities, focusing on anabolism and catabolism.
When I was a child, his paintings caught my attention. The feeling was exactly the same I felt the first time I standed in front of a Dalí or Hieronymus Bosch work. I knew that scenario, I had been there, somewhere in my dreams. Giger became one of my favourites when I discovered his New York City inspired paintings.
But maybe, the most rare collection is ''Ein Fressen fur den Psychiater'', a cycle of ink drawings on transcop in DIN A4 format that were created after several months writing down his dreams and analyzing them according to the theories of Sigmund Freud. He knew that any psychiatrist would be able to understand the symbolism and interpret the drawings with no hesitation. Thats why he called the cycle ''A feast for the psychiatrist''.
The original drawings were created during the 60's. Later, 50 portfolios were printed, signed and mumbered by the artist.
Today is the day because finally I owe one of them...

Good Morning (pitch shifter)
West Hampstead apartment. London, England.A pitch shifter is an audio processor that changes the pitch of an audio signal. Originally marketed by Eventide as the Harmonizer effects processor, advances in digital signal processors soon made higher-quality pitch shifting and harmonic pitch shifting possible.Since the mid-1990s, formant correction has been available to avoid the "chipmunk voice" effect that typically occurs when shifting vocal pitch upwards. Pitch shifters are included in most multi-effect generators today.During the late 1990s and early 2000s, pitch shifting has had enormous influence on recorded music. Among several others, specialized DSP (Digital Signal Processing) software such as Antares' "Auto-Tune", Celemony's "Melodyne" and Prosoniq's "TimeFactory" has given producers of contemporary music the ability to ensure their recordings have no unwanted intonation inaccuracies.A Grindcore sub genre, goregrind, utilizes the pitch shifter effect to tune down the vocals (usually screams or sometimes growls) to produce a vocal sound reminiscent of the low pitched growls and yells of Zombies from splatter films.

Courteney
For those who like this kind of things, there go some previous sketches that will be included in the finished page.
... and some that not.
I have never considered myself to be a good portrayer, so if I cannot obtain an acceptable similitude, I try to catch the attitude or the emotions of the character. Courteney Love, if you see this and you dont like the way I portrayed you, I would be pleased of being able to draw as you wish.
Courteney, when I say ''I love you'' I dont feel shamed about it, and nobody will ever, never be able to persuade myself, etc, of changing my point of view. I carry you on the sleeve, wide open, with the wingspan of a royal turkey, but often with the attention capacity of a bullet in the head.

Dealing
Hey, listen to me. I've got the real deal. Listen with attention and take care of doing it right cause you're not going to have a similar opportunity until one returns. You are through the third part of the triptych again, actually reached 91 %. You did it several times but this one is kind of special.
Take a deep breath of pure, fresh, virginal air. Now hold on... hold on... well, reconsider it. Reconsider your first toy, the first time you had a good time. Remember your first A++ , the second one, the third one. Remember your first FAIL, the second, the third one.
Your first mobile phone, your first bicycle, your first car. The first time you started to compare objects to your social status, remember the first time you lost your wallet, got robbed or had a car accident.
Reconsider your first cheek kiss, the second, the third. The first time you masturbated. Your very first love, the second, the third, the fourth one...Reconsider your first french kiss, first fuck, first fist fuck, first fist fight and the first blood in your fist.
Reconsider the first time you threw up or got sick.
Now, take it, cut it, fold it and break it. Have you ever seen a wipeout made by a huge 30 feet wave? Well, that's exactly what I mean. You've got your five star luxury hotel suite waiting. Take the essentials and some of Beth Gibbon's voice to go back to basics.
Euler paths
Budapest, Hungary An Euler path in a graph is a path which traverses each edge of the graph exactly once. An Euler path which is a cycle is called an Euler cycle. For loopless graphs without isolated vertices, the existence of an Euler path implies the connectedness of the graph, since traversing every edge of such a graph requires visiting each vertex at least once.
If a connected graph has an Euler path, one can be constructed by applying Fleury's algorithm. A connected graph has an Euler path if it has exactly zero or two vertices of odd degree. If every vertex has even degree, the graph has an Euler cycle.

A mechanical heart
This is the Gyrotourbillon I, one of the the most complex mechanisms watchmakers ever invented. Jaeger-LeCoultre's patent (Nº:CH694598-CH694599).
Its body is formed by two cages that turn on two different axis and liberate the regulator mechanism of all kinds of gravitational force in any direction, with a constant amplitude of the wheel to offer an exceptional regulation. The gyrotourbillon I is composed of 90 pieces and only weighs 0,33 grams. The marriage between extremely light weight and the powerful speed of rotation gives LeCoultre watches an unsurpassable precision.

Magic lamps
-
If some day I was lucky enough to experience the unespected situation of finding a magic lamp, with a magnificent blue genius who goes out of it's interior when you rub it in order to get your three wishes granted, for the first goddam second would have the clearest two of them.

In DIY we trust
This will be pretty much one of my favourite viral marketing campaigns ever.
I could never imagine that I would feel that ashtonishment again with something similar after the campaign that Trent Reznor started with Year Zero's launch. Official limos dancing in the streets of Washington D.C. full of swedish furniture. A harmonic combination of political propaganda and advertising.
They have only needed a couple of days in order that the majority of the creatures that inhabit the planet find out that the oval office is going to be re-decorated by Ikea furniture. The giant of nations joined the giant of furniture.
The rage for the oval office ''re-styling'' has grown so much that Ikea recently released small flash video game in their official website, where you can re-decorate the famous office with furniture of their whole catalogue, up to your preferences.
A++ for Ikea and Obama.
God bless the United States of Sweden.

Self-love meets pride
The death of the sphinx was depending in the resolution of a crux that had appeared in these terms: which is the animal that in the morning has four feet, two in the midday and three in the evening?
Oedipus answered without hesitating: 'That animal is the man, who in his infancy walks on his hands and feet, in the virile age only on his feet and in his oldness helping himself with a cane as if it was the third foot". The sphinx, furious on having seen her enigma deciphered, was thrown herself from the crag where she was situated and had her head broken against the bottom of the precipice.
Hamiltonian paths
Prague, Czech Replublic.In the mathematical field of graph theory, a Hamiltonian path is a path in an undirected graph which visits each vertex exactly once.
A Hamiltonian cycle (or Hamiltonian circuit) is a cycle in an undirected graph which visits each vertex exactly once and also returns to the starting vertex. Determining whether such paths and cycles exist in graphs is the Hamiltonian path problem which is NP-complete.
Hamiltonian paths and cycles are named after William Rowan Hamilton who invented the Icosian Game, now also known as Hamilton's puzzle, which involves finding a Hamiltonian cycle in the edge graph of the dodecahedron. Hamilton solved this problem using the Icosian Calculus, an algebraic structure based on roots of unity with many similarities to the quaternions (also invented by Hamilton). Unfortunately, this solution does not generalize to arbitrary graphs.
