MACLA: 2025 Latinx Art Now!

‘Bike Lady’- Piece I contributed to MACLA’s annual ‘Latinx Art Now!’ exhibit which was themed around what we call home.

Ani-May

I was invited by Gallery Nucleus in Portland Oregon to participate in their group show, ‘Ani-May’ which celebrates anime through an exhibit of Limited Edition Scrolls. I chose Studio Ghibli’s ‘Spirited Away’ which is something I watched often during my daughter’s childhood. I’ve learned so much about craft during my viewings of Ghibli films. I aimed to pay tribute as best that I could to their masterpiece.

San Jose Day 2025

Poster and merchandise I designed for the 7th Annual San Jose Day festival. In collaboration with SJ Day organizers Haley Cardamon and Jorge Camacho, I made images inspired by the event, the surrounding area in which it was to be hosted and the City of San Jose. Merchandise was limited to the event only and included T-Shirts, Posters, Headwear, Patches, Stickers and totes. Scroll below to see more.

James A. Harris

Illustration I made of James A. Harris for Scholastic. He was a radio chemist known for his discoveries of elements 104 (Rf) and 105 (Db) on the periodic table.

Nightclubbing

Remix I made of Grace Jones’ Nightclubbing Album Cover for Cratemarks. Originally released in 1981 with cover art by the great Jean Paul Goude.

Kraftwerk Techno Pop (Visual Remix)

Here’s a piece I made based on the iconic album cover Techno Pop (Electric Cafe), released in 1986 and designed by Emil Schult. Kraftwerk has made such a vast impact on culture. Growing up in Chicano neighborhoods, many of us love Pop-Locking, and Graffiti so naturally we embraced Kraftwerk’s sounds in our creative spaces.
