Hope you don't mind, but I don't have a pseudonym for you. So, this is the painting I've been working on for the past few nights, Helene. It's part of the serie Delirium, which I intend to show as a virtual exhibition with short films, pictures and writings, here on the blog. Maybe, one day you can see these paintings in an actual exhibition space, but for this project, I feel I have to keep it to myself, in my studio. I'm o.k., but I can't seem to get any sleep. Also, I'm listening to a lot of electro music, trance.. Have you tried the new album of The Subs yet, Decontrol, it's really really good. I bet you know some crazy dance moves that go along with it. Oh, and the song Airbrushed by Anamanaguchi. Take care. Love, Christian

Rihanna

I really like Rihanna. I like her music. She's inspiring, but for some reason I also think of her as my adversary. I guess it's because we're the same age. And, while she's already on top of the world, I'm still nowhere to be found. It's funny how we both cling to the color red. I've been wearing my red hoodie as often as I can, because I'm trying to overcome my fear of red (and it's negative charge). Sometimes, I wonder if she might be my other half. I'd love to meet her. She seems very sweet. (Fanboy)

People I'd like to hug: Russell Lissack (guitarist/Bloc Party); Robyn; Freddie Mercury (singer/Queen)
