Good morning guys! Let's get soaked from head to toe and relax in the jacuzzi for a moment (at least in our minds) 💦🐼 ☺️
All the stuff I've been working on is finally starting to materialize and I'm close to the finish line, I'll be able to tell you a little bit more soon 😜
Happy Tuesday 😘❤️

Hey guys, I know many of you are familiar with my Listening Companion books. I released them on Amazon, one for each of my albums until the last one. I wasn't able to finish the "8 Days In A Bear's Life" book in time, and then some problems with the seller got serious and escalated until two weeks ago when...
The Listening Companion paperback photo and lyrics books were a guide that I envisioned and designed to enhance the experience of my music albums by taking you alo...

Good morning everyone! The weekend is here, let's spice things up 🤪 🌶️
Here are more pics from my quick hot tub time last Sunday, there's one more set to come, but as you can see the foam went up and I just wanted to enjoy the moment and relax 😅.
These weeks are hard work and a lot of hours, I wake up at 5am, start working at 5:30 or so, and keep at it with only a few breaks until 7pm every day, so when the weekend comes, I just want to relax haha. But there is anothe...

Good morning everyone! It's Friday and someone is ready to have some fun haha 😆🤪
Yesterday I was pretty busy in the studio so hubby Martin Cortes offered to edit some pics for you this weekend. This is the first one, do you think he's trying to tell me something?😜😉
Have a very nice day 😘 ❤️

Good morning everyone! Let's go back in time and celebrate #throwbackthursday with this set of pictures we took at the same place we shot the music video for "Beautiful Nothing" 🎥💦🐼🐻 if you watch the video, this is the wall on the left side of the pool ☺️
If memory serves, this was one of the sets I had to take down from here when this place changed their policies back in 2020, but now that things seem to be coming back to normal, I'm posting it again, just cut in half. ...

Good morning guys, following the #wetwednesday tradition, here's a moment from the other day when we took a quick break and rented a room with a jacuzzi for a little R & R 💦 ☺️
One special thing about Guadalajara that impressed me when I moved to Mexico is the amount of love motels there are. It's something that's not very common in Spain, the social dynamics are different. But it's been a fun "discovery safari" to visit some of them and often take pictures and videos for you...

Good morning guys! With the Osito Lycra Speedo leaving the store on my website next Sunday, I thought it was time to share more pics from the photo shoot we did to promote it ☺️
The funny thing is that I barely promoted it or shared any of these pics elsewhere because we sold out the first edition in 2 days and since it's only one guy sewing them, I didn't want him to hate me 😅.
Now there are ab...

Good morning everyone! Another month starts, Easter is here and I thought we could celebrate it with a new wallpaper, expanding on the post I shared on social media yesterday ☺️🐇
By the way, as I mentioned in my post, the Osito Speedo is still available in my website store. I think I'll leave it there until Sunday tops and then take it away because poor Ricardo from Actitud Sa...

Good morning everyone and happy Easter! 🐇 who wants cake for breakfast before the egg hunt? 😉
Yesterday I finished the demo for the 8th new song and today I'm planning a day outdoors to relax and celebrate Easter before getting into full rehearsal and planning for my show at Pridefest in Milwaukee next June 8th.
Do any of you live nearby? If you plan on attending, please let me know! It would be great to see you and maybe I can plan something special for you ☺️

Good morning guys, let's go back to the stairs, maybe we can see the neighbor... 😜
I recorded another demo yesterday and I'm happy because it's an uptempo Spanish song, a request I've been getting for a while. But it took me a bit to write the right melody and lyrics. I think this one it's going to get a lot of love ☺️
Today I'm going to finish this arrangement and then go back to another song that's giving me a lyric headache. I'll get there.
Have a beautiful Saturd...

Good morning guys, 14 years ago I did a photo shoot for a friend that went viral among the bears, and when I was thinking about what pictures I could do until we could do our next official photo shoot, I thought it would be fun to wink at some of the most popular ones. I didn't go all the way to copy them, it's just a mention of one of the poses, the most popular one, that I've found in many other pictures over the years from guys trying to emulate it.
Unfortunately, I can't share my fr...

Good morning guys, breakfast is ready and I don't want to get out of bed 🤪🍆
This is another moment from our hotel room in Dallas for TBRU, more to come in the following days. Since I couldn't do the photoshoot I had planned for TBRU, we'll be shooting two new ones we had scheduled earlier than expected. I'll keep you posted.
Life keeps reminding me that it's never too late for anything, and that I shouldn't discuss plans in advance (because they won't happen). So I'll keep ...

Good morning guys! Here’s a little moment I wanted to share with you the other day but couldn’t because of the WiFi back at the hotel in Dallas 😅 hope you enjoy it 🥳
We’re back home and although I didn’t do all that I had planned to do because of things I can’t control (for example the photo shoot), it was great to disconnect, see friends and enjoy the vibe at TBRU
Now it’s time to set up in motion new exciting things to come. Have a great Tuesday 😘❤️
Good morning! Come here, take a closer look 🔍👀
We did a couple of series of close-ups, this is the "softie" one, the harder one can't be here due to patreon guidelines. I always enjoy these kind of close hi res shots, they take my mind to other places ☺️ This is the last gallery of this photo shoot.
I hope your week is going well. We're leaving for Dallas later this morning for TBRU. I'm looking forward to this short vacation, and I'm also looking forward to gettin...

Good morning guys, here's a selection of my favorite pictures taken by MFD Cub Photo last year at TBRU, the first one is the full version of the one I shared on social media yesterday 📸☺️
He's a very talented artist and also a great guy and I'm looking forward to our photo shoot this year. I let him know months ago that I'd be there and he has some ideas. I told him to surprise me, so let's see what ...

Good morning guys, the countdown to TBRU is starting and I thought it would be cool to share some of my favorite pics while on vacation ☺️
I reworked these and I think I added two previously unseen pics. Today I'm going to continue working on the mixes of some of the new songs, because I want to take them with me and lie down and listen to them all when I have a quiet moment in the hotel. Oh, and happy St. Patrick's Day to my Irish friends, I forgot to wish you yesterday 😅.
Hey there! Step outside, I have something to show ya 😜
Yesterday I finished the first demo of another new song. Now I have 6 new songs with their finished demos and another 5 ideas in development. I might use today to work on one of those ideas so I can maybe have the seventh song sketched before I leave for TBRU.
Working on music helps me deal with my anxiety levels, which peaked last week for no apparent reason.
This perception changed when I went back to therapy ...

Good morning guys, browsing through my vault I found these cool pics with a cigar from 2022 and thought they might make for an interesting #throwbackthursday ☺️
I have a complex relationship with tobacco. I spent the first 15 years of my life loathing it and then a teacher made me smoke a cigarrete in front of my class on a dare and a week later (I think it was 1981) I was hooked until 2010 when I quit completely (I was smoking 2 packs a day) and stayed that way until 2017. Then at ...

Good morning guys, following last week's tradition, here's another look at the "blue" photoshoot 🟣🔴.
Life is all about constant change and that's a fact we should embrace. And it's not always easy, I know that well, but it's better to ride the wave than to be dragged by it, don't you think?
My body is changing, I can see it clearly when I look at the pictures of the last year. There are also changes in the way it reacts and works. Sometimes these days I feel too old to...

Good morning guys, as Oscar Wilde said, every saint has a past and every sinner has a future... 🤪
We went out for lunch yesterday (first lunch out in a while) and when we got home we both fell asleep 🤣 so with all the relaxing and chilling I wasn't able to do much more. So here are the last pictures of the "Halo" set with minimal color retouching. I especially like the last one, I might make a special edit of it when I have time.
Have a nice Saturday 😘 ❤️
