Above you can see the aftermath of a live art/music display, where the artist painted portraits of rock stars using his bare hands whilst listening and (sort of) dancing around a bit to their songs. The paintings were pretty good, but the crazy mess the guy left on the floor was much more interesting to me.
Do you call this a harlequin?
Some typical selections of polished metal objects they flog in the main plaza in San Telmo, which is like a mini-labyrinth of stalls situated suffocatingly close to each other. Hence the close-ups.
While I was there I managed to get myself an Argentine national identity document, a membership to Racing football club, and an old black and white photo of some family, all for just $20 pesos. Bargain if you ask me.

The displays look like works of art on their own the way you've taken the photograph - would be interesting to paint!
I actually love the pots of paint and think the paint on the wall behind resembles flames. That could happily sit on my wall as an art work. Might bo do-able?
yeah the paintpots were great, just such vibrant colours. the paintings themselves were done on a black canvas, quite interesting to see them appear out of the anarchic moves of the artist, but no the pots still won hands down!
