365 characters painted in 365 days

You can see how Benjami's painting has evolved since I last filmed it in May, he has added quite a few characters.

Watch him explaining the 365 characters on his painting:

By the way eventually I will slowly  re up load all the videos on this blog because those of you who have been following this blog will know that  I had a channel on Blip TV.  I chose Blip TV  because I thought it was less strict than You Tube with regards to the copyright of music and as Benjami often puts records on when we are together and I am filming him so I opted to up load all my videos on Blip tv, however Blip TV have decided that they only want certain type of videos and have removed all the videos that are not what they want. So I will have to re upload them either on You Tube or Vimeo as my idea was that this page would be a sort of archive of Benjami Tous life & work.

Mari Fukuhara plays piano whilst Benjami Tous paints

As I mentioned in my previous post on Friday I went round to Benjami's studio to film Eldys Vega rehearse playing live music to Benjami whilst he paints.

Mari Fukuhara, is a Japanese pianist, who is in Barcelona until the end of March to see her sister Yuri and promote her latest album. I took Mari to Benjami's studio to meet Benjami and Eldys and she asked Benjami if she could also play the piano whilst he painted.

Oh no it's certainly never boring, around at Benjami's studio

Back in December I organized a music hall type event and Benjamí Tous painted a painting  accompanied by Eldys Vega the Cuban Pianist on the piano.
Since we have decided to hold smaller events. As from next Sunday 3/3/2013 afternoon come and enjoy a nice Sunday English lunch you can be entertained after lunch  by Eldys Vega,  Mari Fukuhara and Benjami.

Today I went round to  Benjamí's studio to watch  Eldys and Benjami rehearse.
I took with me to the studio, Mari Fukuhara, the Japanese Pianist and composer, sister of my friend Yuri, who is in  Barcelona until the end of March promoting her latest album.

Here you can watch Benjami and Eldys:
