I was lucky enough to have been approached by Michelynn Woodard from Be the Change/Opportunity Nation about creating some journals and poster using images of inspirational people. They liked my Martin Luther King Jr. portrait and was commissioned to create 6 more to feature on the Posters used to help kick off and promote Opportunity Nation at the Roots Jam Session. Here are a few images of the finished posters.

El Veterano II
Revisited the Veterano image I created a few years back for the up coming show at Crewest dealing with Skid Row and homelessness. On any given night there are 8,000 homeless veterans in LA alone. Something to think about.
Dreams Deferred
A very timely show with the vote of the dream act coming up.
Faces of Skid Row @ Crewest
I will be participating in this upcoming show at Crewest.

As part of the opening reception there will be a performance excerpt of “Calavereando” written and directed by Paulina Sahagun. Experience the humorous dancing and singing of the politically satirical Calacas dancers. It is an evening of culture and art not to be missed!
