CLAUSURADO

Nuevos Proyectos!

Paco viene del DF a acomodarse en Guanajuato Capital.  Vende playeras de diseños propios ademas de representar artistas de toda la Republica.  Me invitó a usar la tienda como taller para pintar y producir.
Hemos encargado mesas y estamos juntando materiales para empezar con clases de arte y otros talleres que partiremos en la tienda y en otras partes de la ciudad.

Más información pronto... mientras, te ofrecemos una vista de la tienda:

New undertakings!

Paco has come from DF to settle in the capital city of Guanajuato.  My dear friend invited me to paint and work out of his shop where he sells his shirts and represents a number of artists from across Mexico.
We are getting tables made and materials together for art classes and a variety of workshops which will take place in the shop as well as on location in various parts of the community.

More information to come but for now here is a glimpse at what the store has to offer:

azaleas in november

DF. Distrito Federal.
Mexico City isn't as scary as it is made out to be.

A menagerie of toppings and salsas awaits as we climb up the stairs out of the metro stop at Patriotismo. We gawk as they hand the tacos over. The french fries that come on them hardly leave room for the radishes and peppers and potatoes and chiles and mushrooms and nopales and piña and...

Azaleas bloom along the side walk that leads the way to 5 mini tacos for 15 pesos. (That equals about 30 cents each, people.)

I usurp the mattress on the floor while the others piled around me play video games projected onto the wall.  A breakfast of fruit and toast and jam and Lechera and tea and coffee and quesadillas and fresh squeezed orange and carrot juice and...

all he wanted for his cumpleaños was to be in a cover band

and... he was!  

(It was actually one of the best shows I've seen since being in Guanajuato.)

somewhat productive

As long as we don't get caught by the police, we are allowed to sell our art on the streets. I have been somewhat successful in selling my little paintings... mostly done on pieces of scrap wood that a carpenter gives me with gouache that my Uncle Kurt gave me for Christmas. Thanks to all of you who believe in me!

mercado hidalgo

          A major orienting landmark for one hundred years, now, Mercado Hidalgo is easily among the most Mexican of experiences in Guanajuato.  Various vendors peddling everything from piles of fresh flowers, intricately hand-stitched dolls, to entire halves of pig or milkshakes with tiny eggs that look like they were snatched from a robin's nest. A beauty to behold.
