"El Chivo"

This was a 24 x 24 acrylic on canvas painting I just completed for a really cool art show on January 31st in Tijuana, Mexico called BANG! Mitos de Creacion (Creation Myths).

I chose to do a Mexican myth I heard in a Mexico City market from a hobo about how the devil was intimate with God's wife, she became pregnant and then God raised all Mexicans as his own. And that is why Mexicans all have the devil in them. Yeah, I think it's pretty scientific too.

Here it is in Spanish:

Mito Originario Satanico. Mexico DF.

Contado por un borrachito en el Mercado de Sonora.

“Una noche, Tata Dios y el mismisimo Diablo (con cabeza de chivo), estavan jugando domino y enborachandose. A todo dar! La esposa de Tata Dios estaba dormida en su recamara. Se les termino el pulque y Tata Dios, de Buena gente, se va a la tiendita a comprar mas. El canijo Diablo se aprovecha y viola al la esposa de Tata Dios! Cuando el regresa nadie dice nada. Al dia siguiente la mujer de Tata Dios esta embarazada. Tata Dios nos crio a todos como sus hijos aunque nuestro verdadero padre es jijo del Diablo. Como la ve joven? No me da para una torta?”

The show will feature paintings and art from various artist including Robot Soda, Mr. Kone, Zoveck, Lerms and many more.

2009 LA MYTH Art Show "Burrito Perfecto"

This is one of two 11x14 acrylic on canvas paintings for the 2009 LA MYTH Art Show (curated by Dee Chavez and Aaron Clark). The opening reception is Feb 7, 2009 at Meltdown Comics 7522 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90046.


The theme of the show is LA myths. And as everyone living here knows, there is a rumored "perfect burrito" in this cursed city. A burrito so perfect, that it would immediately kill you from its glorious taste.

To this day, I have never found such perfection. The journey continues...
