In the Begining, “The Call to Share My Work as Street Art”

In the year 2006, 

I had a life experience that forever change who "I Am"... 

On July 4th, 2006, at three different times during the day, I was so close to being murdered, in my own home, nothing did happened to me, and the only explanation that I can come up with is of having a “Divine Intervention” thanks to the countless prayers from my mother to San Judas Tadeo, My Mother's Patron... Nothing happened to me.

But this experience made me See the “Wrong Paths” I had chosen, in order for Me, to Do what I wanted to do in My Life, and I realized that if I had DIED that day, (July 4, 2006), NOBODY would had ever known that I was a Great Artist... and that thought fill me with So much Sadness that it Activated from the depth of my Soul,  the Mantra, Papavish OM Levinar… Actua CREA Plasma... Act CREATE Manifest…

I will try to keep the sequence of events as Truthful in (Dateline) as it happen. the video below is a (Little Preview I Love) of one of the Installation of Stickers.

Circa 2008 (Old San Juan) Puerto Rico by ArJeiEmSi.

In the year 2006, I decided to share my works of art as Street Art Sticker Compositions, this is one of my earlier pieces I did in the back of a trash can right across the Instituto de Cultura (Culture Institute) of Puerto Rico. A spot that got a lot of visibility, I would go back to document the decay of the stickers over time. I also started to share my work in YouTube of the different kinds of works I created over the years.

So I started documenting all my Work, Sketchbooks, Paintings, Photos, all my life ... and I have been putting them in the Street as installations of Stickers, and Posters...

I will try to show in this post the Experiences 

I had documented as a Street Artist in San Juan, Puerto Rico. From 2006-2017. 

I had to leave the Island after the Devastating Hurricanes (2017) 

Irma and Maria, (2) Category (4) Hurricanes that past one after the other in a span of (2) weeks. The second of which (Maria) completely Devastated the island collapsing all infrastructure, Electricity and Water for some parts of Puerto Rico up to (1 year). 

Where I was living in Santurce. By the time I left in December of 2017 we had been without Electricity for (60) days and it did not look like it was getting any better. The water was able to be restored after about 3 weeks after the event. I will be posting Videos and Photographs, in later posts, of what was that like as an Experience.

For Now I need to organized the content of the blog, and keep the post limited to Subject Matter, ways I create my Artworks, My Story, and videos and photos I have taken over the years, of things I find Interesting, Insights with Life Experiences I have had.

For the first few years I created the stickers myself, and this is one of the sheets I would print, then I would have to cut to size the different sizes, but that would allow me to do different types of Compositions according to place and size.
