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.

Through the Autumn Society's efforts in Mexico (with the Iconoclastic Dead Show), emerged a collaboration with the MTV (Latin America) documentary, called "Agentes de Cambio."

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!

Dia De Los Mucha

gogopedro.com

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!

MY ICONOCLASTIC DEAD (Guillermo Del Toro) - "Que es un fantasma?"

 by Chogrin / www.chogrin.com

¿Qué es un fantasma? Un evento terrible condenado a repetirse una y otra vez, un instante de dolor, quizá algo muerto que parece por momentos vivo aún, un sentimiento, suspendido en el tiempo, como una fotografía borrosa, como un insecto atrapado en ámbar. Un fantasma, eso soy yo."

-My favorite narration and lines from "El Espinazo del Diablo"

Guillermo Del Toro is a passionate man and leader that has influenced me tremendously. As a person, with my work ethic, as a producer of different projects, and as an artist. This is my tribute to him in the "Dia de Muertos" fashion for the Autumn Society's THE ICONOCLASTIC DEAD show in Guru Gallery this Saturday, October 1st (Mexico City).

I will be flying out for the event, and am very excited to be part of our new and latest branch, Autumn Society Mexico (with German Orozco, Jorsh Pena, Rosario Ruiz, and Anita Mejia). Until we meet again and updates soon! "HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE!"

ICONOCLASTIC DEAD - SPECIAL GUEST (ALBERTO CERRITENO)

Alberto Cerriteno (www.albertocerriteno.com)

As you all know, we're about to hit Mexico City hard (in a good way) with the Autumn Society's "THE ICONOCLASTIC DEAD," with our second international show, this time in Mexico City. This show has been an absolute dream come true for me. To be surrounded by friends, fellow artists, and special guest artists that I respect and look up to. On that vein, it my pleasure to present to you another one of our very special guests, 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."

Luis Buñuel

(www.germanorozco.com)

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!!

Like a virgin

Hi everyone this is my piece for the ICONOCLASTIC DEAD show in Guru Gallery in Mexico City. I made a tribute to Madonna, queen of pop. Digital Photography.

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.

The great Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla by Jorsh Pena / mrjorshpena.blogspot.com

Hi, this is my newest piece for the upcoming show "ICONOCLASTIC DEAD" @ Guru Gallery Shop. I tried to make a tribute to one of my biggest influences, and one of the greatest scientific minds ever. I'm talking about the great Nikola Tesla. As you know, he changed the way we use energy today. He was also the creator behind the radio, the tesla coil, the death ray, and other many and great things.
