oh, i’m sorry, i just saw that you need 200 of those for the show on your homepage. since i would like to have some kind of a solo-show i will send the final 150 variations -where every piece is uniquely made- in the next hours.
best regards,
carlos

Hello Carlos,
the joke is nice when is short… but you, evidently, are a time waster. But we not.
So, a little suggest: don’t lose time anymore…

hmmm… i don’t know if it’s that easy. i am working hard to make those pictures and i’m quite serious about them. don’t think they are a joke. each pic is unique. but when you don’t like them that’s fine with me. so i will stop sending them. but don’t publish any of them. this is a series that can’t be shown in pieces.
best regards,
carlos
