INTRODUCING: AUTUMN SOCIETY MEXICO
With Guru Gallery Owner and Hula Hula founder, Javier "El Chá!" Ramírez, Jorsh Pena, Chogrin, & German Orozco
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!
More coming soon...
Check out a video of the show's premiere below:

ICONOCLASTIC DEAD - SPECIAL GUEST (ALBERTO CERRITENO)
Here's a description of Alberto's piece, "El Catrín" from his blog
"My piece entitled "El Catrín" represents the namesake urban legend from a little old town in Guanajuato, Mexico called San Juan de Dios where locals claims to have seen the ghost of this elegant man who made suicide around the third decade of the 20th century. The story says he killed his wife and then regretted hanged himself and to these days you could see him walking around in a park of the same town looking for his lost love. Nowadays in Mexico the word "Catrín" is a synonym for an elegant and dressed up man."
A video compilation of some of Alberto's work
Luis Buñuel
Finally!! This is my piece for The Iconoclastic Dead Show in Mexico. This is Luis Buñuel, a spanish film director that made enormous contributions to Mexican cinema, it was him along with Salvador Dalí, who did "Un chien Andalou," the most epic surrealist film ever! This piece has lots of easter eggs for the fans like me. :)
Remember it opens this saturday at Guru Gallery Shop 6 pm!! And it's going to be A BLAST!!

La Reina!
Hey everyone! This is my piece for the ICONOCLASTIC DEAD show. It's of the lovely, talented and sadly deceased Selena. She was popular for her great music(a blend of cumbia and pop) and known to be a genuinely sweet, nice, and caring lady. Knowing that, I've always wanted to paint a "la virgen de guadelupe" and this seemed like the perfect oppurtunity do it while also giving selena the crown she deserves as the queen of cumbia pop.
The rest of what I've seen on here for the show looks awesome too and I'm really excited to be apart of it. Unfortunately I can't make it out to Mexico for the opening but I'm super stoked to see the coverage on it. Also had to get a new url since the last time I was able to post so here it is! Stay awesome Autumn Society.

MONDAY FEATURE: ICONOCLASTIC DEAD - SPECIAL GUEST (RHODE MONTIJO)
One of the amazing things about being part of the Autumn Society is that it has allowed me to work with a lot of my heroes. Today, it is my pleasure to share with you the work of Rhode Montijo. Rhode created this tribute to Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) for the upcoming ICONOCLASTIC DEAD show in Mexico City (October 1st @ Galeria GURU).
To me Rhode's work is whimsical and genuine. Some of Rhode's published works include his graphic novel Pablo's Inferno, and his children's books Cloudboy, and The Halloween Kid. Rhode is also one of the co-creators & directors of the Happy Tree Friends. Along with Jorge Gutierrez, Rhode has had a big influence on my work and I'm still pinching myself to see that he's a part of this show!
A special thank-you to Eric "The Gute" Gonzalez for introducing me to Rhode's work back in 2006.

It's not easy...

FRIDAY FEATURE: ICONOCLASTIC DEAD - SPECIAL GUEST (JORGE GUTIERREZ)
As the Iconoclastic Dead show approaches, it is my great pleasure to reveal some of the amazing special guests we have in store for the show.
Up first is a man who has influenced me and keeps inspiring me as I write this post. It is an honor have Jorge Gutierrez joining us for the Iconoclastic Dead.
Jorge is known for his Luchador / Dia de los Muertos (very Mexican) drawing style, his Super Macho cartoons, his company MEXOPOLIS (with his wife and partner Sandra Equihua), and one of my favorite cartoon shows, EL TIGRE!
Jorge chose to portray the great Mexican revolutionary legend and hero, Emiliano Zapata, who is known for the slogan "Tierra y Libertad" (Land and Freedom). Read more about him here or by clicking the image below.
I became of fan of Jorge's work when I befriended Eric Gonzalez (from my internship at Cartoon Studios in 2006). Eric introduced me to Jorge's & Sandra's work, as well as their 2005 pilot for EL TIGRE! I was hooked!
Since then, I've watched about every episode of el Tigre and always look forward to any new project Jorge is working on. Another reason I admire Jorge (from a latino point of view) is because he wears his heritage on his sleeve proudly.
I could keep going and nerding out, but you can see for yourself how creative and inspiring Jorge is in the following videos. Viva Jorge!

THE ICONOCLASTIC DEAD: Mary Blair
Here's my piece for
♥♥ I chose Mary Blair, because she was such an amazingly talented female artist who worked in animation! I am sure I am one of many women (and men!) working in animation today who look up to her in more ways than one ♥♥

Lágrimas por los Muertos
Dang, I was too late to post this on the Day of The Dead because I was too busy celebrating it. My bad, its only an hour late. Here is a rushed digi-paint. I knew I wouldn't have the time to do a proper Halloween picture or participate in that gallery inspired by the holiday but I knew for sure I wanted to get atleast one out for Dia De Los Muertos.
Here is a woman crying for the calveras that represent people she has lost.
Be sure to come visit my blog Purple Peep Bits for more goodies!
