Pictures from a recent trip to Lages.

 Lages is not one of Santa Catarina`s most charming towns. It feels rough. Perhaps this is partly because it is a garrison town or perhaps it is because of the large Gaucho presence there. I must add that everyone I met there treated me very nicely. But there is, nonetheless, this rough atmosphere there.

Two friends smoking pot in a room with Regency wallpaper

Two friends smoking pot in a room with Regency wallpaper, oil on card, 18 x 16 cm




This stuff is bloody strong, said Mumbo.
Jesus, I said.
Oh God, said Mumbo.
I know. I said. Don't look at the wallpaper.
Oh fuck, said Mumbo.
I know.
Jesus, said Mumbo.
Oh God, I said.
Pass it over, said Mumbo.

Pixies play football with the head of a social worker

Pixies play football with the head of a social worker
 oil on card, 16 x 18 cm




Wherever the Pixies went, they left mayhem.

A social worker, a good, kind-hearted person, went to see them.

But even she, in her munificent goodness, was not spared. Now the Pixies use her head for a football.

Such behaviour is very wrong. But it seems that the pixies have no conscience whatsover.
