Cartoons to Posada

Here I have overlapped two pieces of art from Posada - people praying out in the agave plantations and the famous drawing of a ceiling in a ballroom. Which now I have converted into the plantation church.
Migration- 1997
This landscape was created using materials such as shoe polish, flying mosquitoes and 22k gold leaf torched into the painting with some bee pollen. All of this was to create a statement of MIGRATION. Pollen- it migrates with the wind and settles in other places, flying bugs they migrate where the leftover food is, gold is moved all over the world. This is about how people migrate from one country to another country.

Lupita del El Cenizo, TX

When first planned to put such image no one would have thought that this respect would happen. Today this mural still stands untagged and demonstrating hope to those who passing by and paying homaged to the Lupita of El Cenizo. Candals, milagros and ofrendas are being left asking for help or just a simple thank you to the Lupita.

Prossesion Girl
I was inspired to do a quick drawing on paper with charcoal. The girl was caring a big Mexican flag over her shoulder and was proud of doing it. She had walked from market square to main plaza which is in front of San Fernando Cathedral. This was where they where going to honor their loved one. This was a moving moment for that family and I was moved to do this drawing.
