the great wall of mexico 48x44in



Shall I leave my ghostly borracho with its anonymity or shall I make him a little more sincere and sympathetic with his eyes peeking over the wall? Anonymity gives the painting a more assertive aesthetic.

Im really excited with the newspaper collage! Its teeming with life like a coral reef. Fucking boatload of stimulants to see/read within the collage. The snipits of color and advertisments and mexican newspaper articles add this early pop art sensibility to slightly downplay the forceful censoring of the borracho. It almost looks like grafitti on a barbed wall. Coooool.
