I recently discovered a local Miami artist whose work, based on pixels, I am currently loving and am sure will tickle your pickle also! Check out the beautiful work of Mauricio Buitrago!

It is no surprise that Miami is a beautiful, diverse city with great weather and beautiful women. But it is also no surprise that more than half of the buildings decorating our skyline are empty thanks to the real estate boom from a few years back. And just when you thought it was over, a new project/proposal is being promoted as the new face of Miami, power, and yes, the future! MIAPOLIS would not only be the newest and tallest building in Miami, but also… yes, you guessed it right, the world!

Sanrio 50th Anniversary – Art Basel 2010
As most of you know, Art Basel Miami takes place the first week of December every year and it could easily be considered one of the most, if not the most, important art show in the US. And what better way to celebrate Hello Kitty’s 50th birthday than a colorful and fun exhibition in the heart of Miami’s Design District during Art Basel. The exhibition, curated by Roger Gastman and Zio Fulcher, included a mini-store, free tattoo parlor and art by POSE, Anthony Lister, Shepard Fairey and David McDowell. Now, I know you might be thinking, Hello Kitty…? but hey! Check out the photos I took this weekend and you might understand why Sanrio’s was one of the most talked about exhibitions during Art Basel this year.
