    Teachers are todays heroes : we chat with Jorge about education & literature

    Books have been an anchor to escape reality! And under this umbrella do we start a lovely pink sofa conversation with a long time friend, Jorge, a writer and teacher. During this difficult time teachers have been heroes - or shall we say that we have all finally seen how crucial they are to our society.   He is bringing light and safety to our kids with his passion for reading and writing. Jorge is an inspiration for sure!  We have worked together years ago- I did illustrate some of his poems as he allowed me to give shape to the ideas he had captured on ink. But also, life as it does unfold in very complex ways, had a common fate reserved for us.    We have both lost our mothers.    One of the short stories we worked together was about that exact event - which had not happen at that time, we knew it would happen as its the law of nature but we did not know it would happen unnaturally painfully sudden. Looking back at that piece now, it resonates in ways that scratches  emotions and definitely touches home.   Follow him on insta https://www.instagram.com/jpozosoriano/   Sign up to his blog https://jorgepozosoriano.com/   Get one of Jorge's book! https://www.casadellibro.com/libro-el-destino-de-tamaran-los-reinos-incognitos/9788477316077/5557390 https://www.amazon.es/Libros-Jorge-Pozo-Soriano/s?rh=n%3A599364031%2Cp_27%3AJorge+Pozo+Soriano https://www.todostuslibros.com/libros/las-bufandas-de-lina-y-otros-cuentos-animalados_978-84-7731-582-7 https://youtu.be/aN3mjW3LdRY

    Pink Sofa Conversations | Jessica Ballantyne art as a therapy & porn as an influence

    I remember meeting Jessica Ballantyne in a meeting. An art meeting. Those killer eyes and killer ideas. I remember her perfectly, always walking into the room wearing the most outlandish hats on hearth. I wondered… what does she do – what kind of art? And there it was this massive, gigantic, naked woman with a flower coming out of her ass. You cannot miss her paintings, and you should not miss her! Maybe not your taste, maybe too much for you, maybe not for your living room – your kids may wonder what that flower is doing there - but this woman is pure FUEGO.   With time I understood that, sometimes the first layer does give the wrong idea. Not that I was not aware of this social phenomenon, I suffered from it all the time, but at times we women are more sexist then men. You know the saying about judging a book by its covers? Well, Jessica’s surrealist influence became obvious to me the more I saw her other paintings and the rest of her series. She is a cocktail Molotov of pop culture, surrealism, feminist art and porn. Art is a therapy, but she is also a therapist herself. Committed to teaching and to bringing people together. She is a doer and as such, I texted her two days ago about this crazy “Pink Sofa” idea. And here we are. 48 hours later ... let the SHOW begin.  https://www.instagram.com/jessicaball... https://www.jessicakballantyne.com/
