Not too long after coming back from visiting the Beehive Collective in Maine, the bees came to Grand Rapids and did a three day event including a presentation of their latest graphic "The true cost of Coal", a workshop for artists and activists and an activity for kids on the last day. This was the second time I had the honor to host the bees since their last visit in March, that's right two

I left Bethel, at 4PM on Friday, it was one of those hard to leave places, but the good news is that I may come back for either a show or an artist in residence. I started driving again and according to google maps I should have been in Machias in 2 1/2 hours, instead I got there at 11:30 PM. I guess that was without considering all the stops and my 40mph driving speed through those narrow

Maybe by saying that I'm so happy to be alive after sitting all alone in my tent while some wild definitely big toothed creatures fought 2ft away over my hemp milk. Never in my whole life did my heart beat as hard as last night, I guess that is a way of saying that I have never been so scared

Back in March The Beehive Collective visited my hometown and besides giving  the presentation at GVSU, teaching a workshop at my studio and coming with me to the local brewery, they also planted in my brain the idea of coming to Machias and visit their community. I've been wanting to do so ever since I met them for the first time back in 2001. The idea of driving/flying/riding the train all the

I went back to CMU last week to talk about my prints and to pick up my artwork, and I have to admit that was more excited to pick up the notes that were exchanged for "seed packets" than my own artwork.It has been my intention to create installations with the only purpose to inspire and get inspired. I can't speak much about the first part, but I'm always inspired by people's stories, notes,

Next weekend I'm coming to Chicago to the Renegade Craft Fair! I'm exited to be part of it and have the chance to meet all those creative people and to get to see all of the goods that have to sell. I always get back home inspired and motivated and ready to start on new projects.For now until then, I'm cranking the press every day, I'm almost ready!If you are in Chicago on that weekend, please

Back in April I celebrated my birthday by having a party and asking people to write notes in exchange for a print. What was different this year was that the note had to be about my favorite color, which wasn't that difficult to guess; and the author of my favorite story would get one of my prints framed.I got stories sent by email, or posted on my face book and real hand written ones. I read and

Now it is official: I'm opening my studio to the public on Mondays and Fridays from Noon to 6 PM.I kept telling people about this, but posting it on my website is going to make it look more credible.All of my prints and printed stuff are available for purchase, the other good news is that I can now take credit card payments.For more information please follow the link to my website.

It was probably more than 2 years ago when Margie, Mandy and I had this idea of using a house for a site specific art installation regarding women and home. We couldn't do it last year, but we did it this year at last.I was frustrated to know that the chosen house was "historical" meaning we could basically do nothing on the walls, no sticking, nailing, hanging, painting, etc. So, what was I

I had the best time organizing the Dead End exhibit, we received 54 prints from 28 artists from 8 states, I met a lot of really nice printmakers and print buyers as well.At the end I was unable to create a website but I put together a webpage with all the prints from the exhibit.Two weeks after that we had yet an other event; the Tanglefoot 19 open studio Holiday sale, where all the artist

I been putting a lot of energy organizing and getting ready for the "Dead End Prints" exhibit, not knowing if I was going to get any prints to show. I opened the studio on Monday to receive submissions and not a single person showed up, then I got a lonely print on Tuesday, and then on Wednesday I got a bunch on the mail. On Thursday I was anxious to check my mail, and there they were an other

There are just two more weeks between today and the deadline. I have heard from many people about their interest in participating, attending, writing about it, etc. And now I'm just going to be waiting anxiously to see what happens. So far, two local magazines have written stories about this event, but the most amazing thing is the emails I'm getting from all over the country and beyond

I signed up for a print exchange with the theme: "My window", that was back in April and then it seemed like I had all the time in the world to finish on time in August. This has been one more reminder that I have no sense of time, even in July I thought August was far away. One day I read an email reminding us of the deadline; I checked my calendar and then I realized that I had just 1 week to

Last month I found a posting on Baren Forum from a man who needed to sell his etching press as soon as possible. I thought about it for an hour or so; it was crazy that for the past 3 nights I had been waking up in the middle of the night thinking that I needed to start saving money to buy a bigger press; and on the third day I stumbled into this! So I called the number and inquire the price,

After my last post back in April, I had a birthday party with a surprise band, video and present. Lots of dancing and such a memorable event.Then my real birthday came, and we celebrated at Founders brewery, where a poster contest for a local organization was taking place too. I had submitted an image, since it was going to be at the same time and place as my b-day celebration/give-away.As if all

Today is my birthday, and the third time I give prints on this day.I already gave a bunch of them at my party on Saturday, the only thing I ask in return is a note. Apart from the fun party, food, present, dancing, etc; it's always a joy to read the notes at the end of the day, that makes the whole thing memorable.This year I created a print that had something to do with my birthday (kind of).I

This is the title of my last exhibit at Fountain St. Church. The work has to do with seeds; the importance of saving, planting, and sharing them, also it the first time in many years that I make colorful and hopeful art, there is no satire or hidden messages this time.To sow is a form of ResistanceThis will be technically my first solo exhibit in GR.

I have had such a hard month, finishing all the artwork for the exhibit at Fountain St. Church, didn’t have time for christmas or new years eve celebrations, or much sleep at all, all because I promised my grandma I’d be here for her birthday, and I’m so glad I came.

On Saturday we volunteered at the Association for the Blind and visually impaired, I brought some of my plates for people to pirnt them on a press that is basically what we use to make tortillas.More than what we had to offer to the event was what I got from the experience of working with people for whom the world I take for granted is completelly different.

One year ago I rode my bike to the City Clerk office in downtown Grand Rapids, and registered my art doing as a business named Red Hydrant Press; after that I got a paper saying that I was from then on an "entity". This paper meant that I was supposed to be more responsible with everything that had to do with my "business" which in my case is my whole life, since my business is art making, and

I have to start by saying that although I was born and raised in Mexico city, I hate living in big cities, I can visit for three or five days so right now I'm close to my limit, I need to run to a small town soon. By the way the whole city is under construction, it is a complete chaos.I rather take the subway and the "micro" than driving, it takes twice as much time, but at least you don't have

On my birthday I give prints away to remind my self of the importance of keeping my art available to people who can't afford it. It is also a way of giving back and being grateful for all the good things that happened to me during the year; all the good ideas that I have no clue where they came from, all the great people that I met, all the projects that I accomplished, etc. Maybe nobody will

This is a sad notice, after only two events we were told by the Fire Department that we cann't have anymore. The reason: the space is not safe.For a whole week I was sad, frustrated and even sick, I didn't know if we were even going to be able to keep the space. As of today, we can keep the space but we can't have any more events until they approve it. For now, I'm getting ready for the summer

I was happy, amazed, grateful, etc to see so many people showing up during both days.The studio is in a warehouse buliding on the west side of the city, it is in the middle of two scrap metal places and far from any main street or intersection, on top of that we are on the third floor. Despite all that, people were able to find their way to our space!I

This print is the black and white version of a painting. I don't think it need an explanation so, I will just describe the piece itself. I carved the piece on a 5x5 " linoleum plate and then printed it on Amate paper.Amate is a mexican tree from where the paper is made by pounding its inner bark into an even sheet of "paper", the aztecs were the first to use this paper to create their codices.I

Koyokuykatl era el otro nombre de Carlos Cortez; un artista grafico chicano al cual decidi conocer sin tomar en cuenta que la vida pasa mas rapido que el tiempo. Este grabado es un homenaje a un artista cuya obra refleja su vida y sus ideales.

These prints are about our past and current relationship with our food, especially our Corn. Estos grabados los hice cuando me di cuenta de lo que habian hecho con nuestra comida, principalmente nuestro Maiz.

This piece was created with the collaboration of 5 Mexican local artists at Calder Plaza in Grand Rapids MI. We were concerned with the situation at the US- Mexico border, where hundreds of people have died in search for a better life. Those who don't die physically at the border, die emotionally at the factory; becoming just an extension of a bigger machine.Esta pieza la creamos 5 artistas
