This is the first time I've shared my illustration process on here. All these illustrations were created in support to the HIV awareness show "¡Póntelo!". which premiered in Mexico City last week @Guru Gallery. Hope you like!
It is with great pleasure that I present to you AUTUMN SOCIETY MEXICO, led by the mega-talented and good friend, German Orozco. Autumn Society Mexico
is a dream come true and stands as a true testament that anything is possible through teamwork and group effort.
I would like to thank Sam Heimer for naming and starting the Autumn Society group all the way back in 2005, Anita Mejía for being our first artist and member from Mexico, Jorsh Peña, Rosario Ruiz for all the support and for inspiring the creation of the group, Manuel Hidlago & Héctor Hernández for their support and for helping create the Autumn Society Mexico's logo (Jorsh Peña & Anita Mejía also contributed in creating the logo), and German Orozco for his friendship and determination in making this group into a reality. I look forward to seeing this group blossom and see what they do with their massively talented arsenal of artists!

MTV was present at the Autumn Society's "The Iconoclastic Dead Show" (@Guru Gallery / Mexico D.F.) where they interviewed Chogrin & German Orozco about possibly producing an art gallery themed to "Safe-Sex" & "Aids Awareness." Chogrin & German excitedly agreed to the project and now their interview will be featured as part of the upcoming "Agentes de Cambio" documentary premiering this December 1st, 10am EST.
To promote the Autumn Society's involvement, illustrations by Chogrin, Kali Meadows, Jorsh Pena and German Orozco will be featured during the premiere of Agentes de Cambio. Take a look HERE.
It is with great pleasure and honor to announce the beginning of the Autumn Society Mexico. For starters, The Autumn Society's "THE ICONOCLASTIC DEAD" show was a big success in Mexico City! So much so, that we have signed on for several more shows to take place in Mexico City between 2012 & 2013!
At this point I'd like to thank several people for making this dream a reality. German Orozco for his leadership, friendship, the marimba, and for taking this show above and beyond! Jorsh Pena, for providing some stellar special guests and artists. Jorge Gutierrez, Rhode Montijo, and Alberto Cerriteno for sharing their wonderful art and accompanying us on the show. Guru Galeria y tienda for all the love and goods that they provided for the show (papel picado, t-shirts, postcards, ads, tequila, and all the rest!). Another big thank-you to Rosario Ruiz, Manuel Lugh, Romero Chagoyan, Bere & Bere, POGO, and all of the Hula Hula gang! Gracias a todos who came out that night!
