UMX State of the Tortilla

Categorized under Acción , Arte , Blogando , Foto , Raza | Tags: , , , , , , ,


IT'S BEEN PRETTY QUIET here, overall. You know what I mean. Less posts, less text, easy topics. (Aside from "anal bleaching," I suppose.) That's because I'm actually closing in on this massive knot of work that has been bottlenecking my peace of mind and daily schedules. It's always a...

Categorized under Arte , Raza , Stories | Tags: , , , ,


NAKED DAVE IS DEAD. And if you know nothing of La Molina and the tale of Naked Dave, then even the name "Naked Dave" may mean nothing to you. For while the obit for the creator of the Rocketeer character tells us a few things about Dave Stevens, it...

Categorized under Arte , Corazón , Cultura , Latin America , Raza | Tags: , , ,


CUANDO PIENSO EN FRIDA KAHLO, I think of pain. And beauty. When I think of Frida Kahlo, I think of a lifetime sentence of physical agony...and the spirit that must have moved this woman, the spirit that enabled her to keep living, and to create. When I think of...

Vampires and Pimps Eternal

Categorized under Arte | Tags: , ,


AS THE HAUGHTY AUTEUR type (and just as a matter of general fairness) I am grossed out when I see systems where the distributors, marketers, or sellers of work cheat the maker of the work. I've just never understood how people are comfortable doing that. It seems so vampiric...

I REMEMBER READING the old National Geographic magazines that my family carried around in boxes wherever we moved. These were old mags, from the 40s on. I remember those Coca-Cola ads, they said "The Pause That Refreshes." Those were the days, I guess, when advertising was a bit less...

As The War Machine Keeps Turning

ALL I CAN SAY is that these are the moments I will personally remember and recall as reflective of the ruling party's demeanor during the Iraq invasion/occupation. Bush, playing peekaboo on video, mocking the lie he took the nation to war with. Rove, being unfunny, ugly, and hostile to...
