welcome back

While I was away, my parents totally "pimped my ride" as it were. Fixing all the dents, the busted door, the boot, the missing hub caps, the upholstery... etc.

Yesterday someone drove in to the back of me.

the biggest post ever

We call it Boo.

infinitas gracias

Liz and I created this wall work for the Oaxacan gallery space Tinoco y Palacios.

We were building on ideas from our previous exhibition Lost in a Fog while incorporating the concept of non-religous based retablos.

You can see more images of the work here.

public transport

Buses in Mexico are pretty wild. The drivers are allowed to decorate them in whatever style they like. Usually blaring either classic mariachi music or bassy anthems.
This guy had red faux velvet upholstery and red metallic glitter tape wrapped around all the railings. The bus was yellow with red stripes and shapes on the outside.
You can see to the drivers right, a sticker of a bus, that's a sticker of THE bus, custom made. Lots of the buses have them.

Awesome.



And there always seems to be at least one tiny child's shoe hanging up somewhere.
I don't know why.

arbol del tule

In Oaxaca is the worlds fattest tree.
It's pretty bloody enormous.
There's a wiki on it here.

night of nights

The 23rd of December is Oaxaca's night of nights, that night being the Night of the RADishes!

Radishes of all sizes are carved to represent religious figures, religious events, religious places, all sorts of religious things. Carved out of radishes.

It is the biggest night of the year in Oaxaca, and is totally awesome!

You can see more photos from the Noche de Rabanos here.
