THE ICONOCLASTIC DEAD
The Iconoclastic Dead is the Autumn Society's first show in Mexico, the first of many we are sure. The idea came about due to our love for Mexican traditions, specially for the "Dia de los Muertos" tradition.
In this show, Autumn Society members & special guests pay tribute to those Iconoclasts that made mark, would like brought back to life, or remember that they will die and try to immortalize them in this fashion.
What started in 2005 as an idea for a zine, became a collective of Illustrators, known as the Autumn Society in 2006.
Over the years the group has grown and spread its wings around the world. Artists from Mexico, England, New Zealand, Ecuador, France, and Brazil have joined the Autumn Society’s cause in presenting unique visual feasts throughout the internet, art galleries, events, and in various publications. The Autumn Society has become known and will rise to any creative need or challenge.
The Autumn Society has worked with world known galleries, groups, and companies like: Brave New Worlds Comics, Gallery 1988, Ground Kontrol, Meltdown Comics, The Mars Society, Toys for Tots, Cartoon Network, Image Comics, Dreamworks, & King Features Syndicate.
The Autumn Society is very proud to be here in Mexico, at Guru galeria,
this month of October. It is truly an honor and dream come true to be
in a place with such history and cultural richness. In this show you
will find special guest artists like: Jorge Gutierrez (creator of El
Tigre), Rhode Montijo (Pablo's Inferno), and Alberto Cerriteno
(Illustrator Extraordinaire).
This was made possible with the support & help of German Orozco, whose leadership and determination has filled this show with special Mexican artists, decorations, art, and music! A special thank-you also to Jorsh Pena for bringing some great Mexican talent on board, to Guru for letting us be here, and to Chogrin for his dream & vision to expand the Autumn Society internationally.
If you're reading this right now, know that this show is true testament that any is possible through vision, hard work, love, and friendship. As we like quote the CHE, "HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE!"

THE ICONOCLASTIC DEAD (SPANISH VERSION BY GERMAN OROZCO)
The
Iconoclastic Dead es el primer Show de The Autumn Society en México, el primero
de muchos, estamos seguros. La idea surgió de nuestro amor por las tradiciones
Mexicanas, en especial el día de muertos.
En
esta colección de obras de miembros de la sociedad e invitados especiales
hacemos homenaje a esos Iconoclastas que nos marcaron y nos gustaría regresar a
la vida o recordar que van a morir para intentar inmortalizarlos de alguna
manera.
Lo
que comenzó en 2005 como una idea para un zine, se transformó en un colectivo
de ilustradores conocido como The Autumn Society en 2006.
The
Autumn Society nació en Filadelfia (Pensilvania), nombrada por Sam Heimer y
co-fundada por Joseph Game (Chogrin).
Con
el correr de los años, el grupo ha crecido y extendido sus alas alrededor del
mundo. Artistas de México, Inglaterra, Nueva Zelanda, Ecuador, Francia y Brasil
se han unido a la causa de The Autumn Society presentando abanicos visuales
únicos a través de internet, galerías de arte, eventos y diversas
publicaciones.
The
Autumn Society ha trabajado con galerías, grupos y compañías mundialmente
famosas como: Brave New Worlds Comics, Gallery 1988, Ground Kontrol, Meltdown
Comics, The Mars Society, Toys for Tots, Cartoon Network, Image Comics, Dreamworks
y King Features Syndicate.
The
Autumn Society México es manejada por Germán Orozco, Jorsh Peña y Anita Mejía,
es parte de la iniciativa para expandir la sociedad a nivel mundial.
The
Autumn Society siempre está en busca de nuevo talento y miembros.
