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:

Dia De Los Mucha
Here's my contribution to the wall tonight for THE ICONOCLASTIC DEAD show in Mexico City! I'm exceedingly happy that I was given a chance to participate with all the other great artists in this event.
I've had Art Nouveau on the brain since a very early age... In fact the bathroom in my childhood home had (and still has) this fantastic Nouveau print wallpaper in it. Even before, I knew his name I KNEW I loved the work of ALPHONSE MUCHA. Something about the Graceful shapes, the colors, the LINEWORK!... I've been hooked ever since. For my image I tried for a Mucha inspired composition with a keyhole framing element. I'm incorporating autumn leaves, and bone motifs to, lend to a lot of the natural content that you'd find in Mucha's work. But, also I see an odd similarity in brilliant colors of the old dead leaves verses the faded hues of dried bones.
I'll close by thanking, Chogrin for bringing me onto the show. Gracias also to the Guru gallery and German for being very friendly in welcoming me. I hope this leads to more great shows in the future. I'll also thank my model Dayna for putting up with my shooting of some helpful photo reference.
Lastly, I'll thank Alphonse Mucha for being a constant source of inspiration and beauty for me to draw on and appreciate...
Hope you dig. P
P.S. I don't remember adding my website to this post. But, its cool... If you wanna see more current work, please stop on by my blog HERE!

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. :)

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.

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 ♥♥
