Remember the art piece I was doing, the one I told you guys about the other day? Well, it  didn’t end up as I imagined. At all.

First I was looking for the perfect leaf, and then I found the perfect leaf and a series of serendipities started to happen... I’m not gonna keep going with this story now, but I got about into deep details in my Patreon, and I also mentioned it here on the blog last week.

Anyway… my plan was to use the leaf as a stamp in the center of my piece, but the results were nothing like I expected, and in the attempt of fixing I created something entirely new, totally abstract. The detail at the bottom right, “107T”, is what made the difference, probably. It gave the impression of a serial number, which is totally not the case.

“107T” is the bus number I took the first time I went to the “downtown side” of Rua Augusta. If you are not familiar with the place, Rua Augusta (where all the cool kids are) is a giant street crossed in the middle  by Avenida Paulista.

On the Jardins’ side used to be stores and places related to the fashion world, but since the 2014 crisis they are disappearing.

And there is the side of Rua Augusta that will take you to the downtown of São Paulo, the side that I first visited when I took the “107T” bus.
