Hello guys!!!

Finally and after many days working night and day, here's the first complete version of "Just What You Do To Me", my new music video featuring friends from all over the world, among them some of you. Thank you for participating!

This one has been a technical challenge for me, and I'm amazed I managed to put on images what I had in my head. I've learned some new tricks I'll be using on my next projects. I'll be doing the official premiere this next Sa...

Advance promo! "Do It Again (Jose Spinnin Cortes Radio Mix)"

Hello my dear Patrons, the "Do It Again" remixes EP is finally almost ready and we decided to release just for you the radio edit of Jose's remix, a month in advance :)

I love this new remix by Jose Spinnin, it's not his usual tribal house sound, it sounds sexy and makes me wanna dance. There will be a re edit of the video released as well when the time comes. You'll be the first to see it here when it's ready.

Update from the studio: I've been more than a week no...

(Psychoanalytic) Throwback Thursday to 2008 (Part 2)

Hello my dear patrons, here's a set of pics I thought I had lost but recently recovered. They're from the same time on 2008 as this post I shared with you in May (time flies!). As I told you there, I started to explore myself more seriously through photography those days. 

I recently had bought an Olympus digital camera (I think it was like 3 megapixel) and took lots of pics that I started sharing with a...

Hey guys, I made a little pause editing the new music video to edit this wallpaper for you celebrating this years Pride. Tomorrow June 28th we celebrate the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots. It's a day to remind us there's still a lot to do, and that we must also celebrate who we are and how we are in joy. Happy Pride guys!

Just What You Do To Me - Filming wrapped today!

Hey guys! I was able to finally shoot my part on the new music video today! I will not be releasing it next Monday as planned, but I'm guessing it'll be ready by next weekend. In any case you will be the first to see it here. 

I convinced Jose to appear, and Farit came to shoot his part and help me during my part. It's been fun and I'm less tired than expected, so win win, to tell you the truth there was a moment last week when I didn't believe I was going to be able to be in this ...

Throwback Thursday to 2005

Hello my dear patrons, to keep celebrating we are 100 for the first time, I’ve decided to share this very special photo set in full, for the first time and in it’s full size. Thank you again for your support.

This set was taken by Angel Pardo I think it was march of 2005. I told you it was special, this is why: until this one, each time I had a photo shoot I did whatever it was necessary to sort of disguise myself in them. Dyed my hair, fasted for a month to loose weight, dressed di...

Hey guys, did you think I forgot to be a little naughty this weekend? I might be working slower this days, but I wouldn't do that to you :P

This is part of the "Just the shirt" series we shot last month and I'm still editing when I can. There's just one series left I'm hoping I'll be able to edit for next weekend.

Pride special: my complete discography! (Part 2)

Hello guys, when I started working on this discography post yesterday I couldn't imagine it was going to be so much work! But here it is, the next half of my discography and videography for you to discover / enjoy. 

Let me add that these two lists are a selection, not all of it. I've not included books, TV, remix releases of my songs where I didn't do any remix myself, neither most of my releases as exec...

Pride special: my complete discography! (Part 1)

On the pic above: I'm the one seated in the middle with sunglasses and blonde hair, this was Madrid Pride, June 1998

A few of you sent me messages after I posted the theme music I did for “Yesterday” asking why I didn’t do more music like that. It was a surprise (for me) because I’ve published a lot of that type of music in my career, then I realized that it’s entirely my fault, because somehow I’ve been sabotaging myself for a long time now.

About "Yesterday"

I finished the Spanish edition of “Ayer”, including all corrections and artwork, on June 2015, and that was the edition I translated for you during this past months.

I’m thankful we thought about this and that you encouraged me to do it. It has been great to be able to redo all the text and even fix some parts that weren’t quite on point on the original version. In fact I’m going to release a new edition of the Spanish version with this fixes. And in a few mon...

Yesterday (Epilogue Chapters 76 & 77) The End!

CHAPTER 76

Laura got up from the table and paced around the room. She looked out the window. Wandered over to look at the bookshelf. She took another look... And she made up her mind, her intuition had been pressing her for a while now, it was as if she already knew everything she needed to know about that instrument. She was ready to open the box. She wasn't going to wait for...

Memories from Beefdip 2019

Hey guys, Hommenbear posted a version he did of the first picture on his set and one of you asked me to post more from that day, so here you are. This was Beefdip 2019 on Puerto Vallarta (Jalisco - Mexico). It was January 28th Monday and we celebrated for the first time a foam party on Blue Chairs resort. The guy next to me did shot a music video there for an artist (sorry can't remember the names), and we were watching over the crowd from our balcony, I was also trying for the first time tha...

CHAPTER 74

The antique wall clock had just struck midnight as Victor Sertres began to despair over Hebert's disappearance when his butler came to him with an unexpected announcement.

Jonah and Laura Samper were at the entrance asking to be received.

“Finally! but where is Hebert?” he asked himself as he walked to greet them in the foyer of his small pa...

A taste of the "Jungle" series

Hello my dear patrons, here are the close up versions of the two pics I shared for the upper tier here in Patreon. This time we go to the jungle.

About this series: I'm working on new kinds of editing techniques as I get ready to finally shoot the alter ego series. I want to get a flavor of ...

Hello my dear patrons, here's something in a style I advanced on my previous galleries. This time we go to the jungle. There are more coming, I just couldn't finish them this weekend, my health is not letting me work as much as I wanted and I really should rest.

I'm working on new kinds of editing techniques as I get ready to finally shoot the alter ego series. I want to get a flavor of those Rembrandt and Rubens colors and shadows. Funny thing it's been easier (for me) achieving it in ...

• Hello my dear patrons, it's finally here! The unrated and full blooper reel of my music video "Tell Me Why" featuring Jeremy Morse, with laughs, extended scenes, unrated scenes and a new sound mix & color grading.

Yesterday (Part Four - Chapters 72 & 73)

CHAPTER 72

Jonah and Laura walked hand in hand into his father’s office building. For the first time in his life, Jonah made no attempt to hide from the stares of passersby and found that he felt strangely self-conscious. Laura urged him not to, they had talked it over, and she persuaded him that it was for the best.

—You have to learn to live among people, Jonah, �...

Hello my dear patrons, here's my first attempt at the promised Alter Ego series. Hope you like it :) I don't really know how to caption this one, please feel free to give me yours. I started working on it to test light and color schemes, so we have an idea of what to do technically wise when the moment comes to shoot that series in the coming weeks.

We have finally come up with a very cool idea for the Alter Ego series following your poll votes, I'm wai...

Yesterday (Part Four - Chapters 70 & 71)

CHAPTER 70

Spencer Kelt overheard his chauffeur announcing.

He would rather not speak unless it was strictly necessary. The two arched leaves of the old blackened metal door swung apart after an electric hum and his Rolls creaked parsimoniously down the short gravel driveway to the mansion where he had his appointment with Victor Sertres.

A butler was waiting for h...
