The Ancients: Mexican Boxers and Time Travel

I’ve done a few pieces that feature Mexican boxers. Ancient Mexican boxers. These guys are full of energy and strength. They’re skilled fighters.

These boxers are Ancient Deities who enjoy boxing and the challenges that come with it. Typically, in the lighter weight divisions, they bring centuries of knowledge and survival in the ring.

It’s part of a ceremony, a lighter version of a battle or a sacrifice. Plus, they love the rabid, cheering crowds.

Additionally, they happen to be top notch time travelers. They’ve had the opportunity to observe some of the best bouts in history.

Ancients love a party and hanging out. They’re all about la pachanga and all the fun that goes with it. Sometimes it’s hard to keep them still, they especially like to dance once the music gets going, and the drink is flowing. I’ve seen more than a few TikTok videos of them out there dancing on in the middle of a backyard get together.

Unaffected by a mere pandemic, these Ancient Deities enjoy their daily interactions with mortals and everything that our world offers. Technology and crypto currency are two of their biggest interests and pastimes.

So, if you find yourself at a party with an Ancient or two, enjoy the experience and take any advice that they give you with a grain of salt. They like to mess with us. Always agree to a selfie with one of them. Just don’t entertain a pressured invitation to do some “fake boxing” or light, open handed sparring. Not good. No es una buena idea.

Especially next to a keg-o-beer. Driveway chingasos are a thing.

The monoprint of the Mexican Boxer shown here, Con Energía is currently on display at the Civic Center Library in Scottsdale, as part of the Arizona Breakfast Club’s 20 Year Anniversary Exhibit at the library.

Here is a link to the opening (virtual) reception: https://scottsdalepublicart.org/event/opening-reception-artists-breakfast-club-20-years/

Hearing voices is one thing, listening to them is an entirely different thing. Thanks for stopping in to take a look and take a read. Let me know if you have any questions or are interested in any of the work. And remember, only demons think in straight lines. Don’t be a demon.

¡HOLA!

Welcome to my writing & chingadera space! I’m a painter, printmaker, writer, a Nopalista, as well as a Chinga Dadaist. This blog is to my gallery site which contains my personal art. It’s different than my marketing and branding work life.

On another note, I used to run around w/ La Llorona until I got tired of all the drama she brought to the party. That woman was a total buzz kill. We avoid each other now.

My work…I like to work in series. Hence the Corazones, Sirenas, Angeles and other stuff. I like color and have often incorporated writing into my art. The majority of it starts in my journals/sketchbooks.

Why? Because only demons think in straight lines. ¡Salud!
