One of the subjects that I seem to return to when I'm painting/screening/fidgeting are the luchadors. I think it's the fact that it mixes my boyhood love for wrestling and superheroes with my adult love for Mexican folk art and Dia de los Muertos (forgive my Spanish as I have none). Luchador masks also make for easy things to screen--the first thing I screened and the first thing I painted were both Blue Demon masks. So here are my lucha paintings: The mask is screenprinted in black on a painted acrylic base onto a canvas, the blue demon is mixed media painted on to a canvas panel (your christmas gift at work Keni) using a handcut stencil (all the paint is acrylic since I don't have the patience for oils or the eye for watercolour.... yet) with a border made from a loteria card. Special bonus one of the best wrestling matches I have ever seen!
