My hippie parents called me Rainbow Blue Nelson, which worked until another hippie, Colombian artist Antonio Caro, finally gave me an alias 'Mr Nice Name'. This is a little bit of everything I love about Latin America, a celebration of the world's most creative and entertaining continent

To Mr Nice Name
I met Colombia's father of conceptual art Antonio Caro at Galeria Casas Riegner for the launch of his new book - Antes de Cuiaba - a collection of his first artistic works.
Here he is pictured in front of his most famous work, a new limited edition of his 1976 'flash' of genius - Colombia.
My signed copy of his book has the inscription: "To Mr Nice Name", which was nice.
