"Los Monitos Amarillos" 16x20 acrylic on canvas. One of the paintings for "Border Bang!" my first ever solo art show exploring Tijuana border bootlegs at the @gregorio_escalante_gallery opening on July 9th. Everything yellow sells. Maybe it's because the first ancient gods were the sun. Or maybe because of pee.

"Sexy M.F." 16x20 acrylic on canvas. One of the paintings for "Border Bang!" my first ever solo art show exploring Tijuana border bootlegs at the @gregorio_escalante_gallery opening on July 9th. My first introduction to Prince was with the wild and funky music videos from the US channels that would come into my Tijuana bedroom. I was mesmerized. If that was life on the other side, I needed to go there! Prince, like his trailblazing music and iconic image, is forever.

I was a young film student when this came out. And I bought the cd bootleg soundtrack at the border. When I got to my dorm and played it... it was The Little Mermaid.
