Here’s an image from my archive. I painted it for Time magazine during the last recession. Somehow it seems even more appropriate now!

July 23, 2009Michael Jackson
July 7, 2009Today marks the memorial service for Michael Jackson. This is an image I painted many years ago, when he still had a certain innocence but was already a major talent. Later of course he was to become very troubled and who knows if the allegations of pedophelia are true or not.
Since his death there has been almost no news in North America of anything else. It amazes me how we elevate some to god-like status.
This image was published again on the cover of Argentinian Rolling Stone. Please visit http://visualmente.blogspot.com/2009/07/exclusivo-anita-kunz-dibuja-michael.html. There you will see a very interesting Argentinian artists’ blog (and a short interview with me.)
Amazing and shocking image
July 2, 2009This is an image that I want to share with everybody on the planet. It’s by Dave Gallo from the TED conference and shows three comparative spheres. The first one is our planet. The second one is the amount of water on our planet. And the third shows the amount of FRESH water on the planet. Really shocking. Look closely. It’s barely visible. I think that most of us assume that there’s lots and lots more water. 
Please pass it on…..
