Art Workshops in Oaxaca

I just got word today about an exciting opportunity to study art in Oaxaca for winter 2014. Photographer Mari Seder and painter Humberto Batista are offering a workshop in photography, art and painting the first week of March.

Mari Seder is a celebrated photographer who divides her time between Worcester, Massachusetts and Oaxaca. She is a lecturer at the Worcester Art Museum.

Humberto Batista was born in Mexico City and has lived in Oaxaca for three decades. He has established a reputation as a world class painter and collage artist.

Both Mari and Humberto are steeped in the cultural heritage and contemporary artistic scene of the jewel-like city of Oaxaca.
I highly recommend the workshop with these master teachers who know Oaxacan art and culture inside out. It's a rare opportunity; not only to experience Oaxaca from insider eyes, but to expand your artistic horizons guided by the sure hands of Mari and Humberto.

Complete information about the 2014 Winter Art Workshops in Oaxaca can be seen here.

Anarchists in the Boardroom Just Published

Earlier this year I did the cover for a book called Anarchists in the Boardroom by Liam Barrington-Bush. It's now available here.

Liam changed the color scheme a bit, but you get the idea.
I actually downloaded a make-up pallet to use as my color guide on this job! Whatever works, yes?

This was some corporations idea of what colors one should paint their face with this year. Or bookcover, in my case. Although I might favor that green or ochre next time I need some eye-shadow.
