La Pena Second Skin Mural Project

My good friend Robert Trujillo and the rest of the Trust Your Struggle Collective are participating in a very special community art project to remove and replace an historic mural at La Pena Cultural Center in Berkley, California.

Quesada's Art featured in Gallery exhibit

Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada gets his brown man on at this exhibit featuring his all-Latino Superhero team the Santerians. He's interviewed here at the Carribean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute gallery for his first solo art show with Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez of Somos Arte who is also Joe's curator. As he said in the video, the characters debuted as part of Quesada's book Daredevil: Father for Marvel comics. Joe explains here how characters like Spiderman, the Black Panther and Shang Chi interested him in Marvel at a young age because they showed more diversity (which explains why Joe relaunched Black Panther at Marvel Knights). for more info on the exhibit, go here. props to Rob at ComeBien Books who put me on to this!

It's All About Me(ta)

the fine folks at Purple Magazine thought well enough of my efforts to do a nice little interview with me as part of their "SuperSelf-Making 101" special also known as Purple Magazine #8. also featured are my peoples Dazjae Zoem and Robert Trujillo, so get familiar! you can download the issue gratis or check in with Ultraviolet Underground for the print issue in a couple weeks. even if you think i'm over-rated (hater!), cop this issue for the fresh cover by painter-emcee Corinne Stevie, tough guy!
peace,

All up in the Hood...

that dude Tres of Come Bien Books did us a solid and copped this ghettoManga Logo Hoodie, and just to show what a cool cat he is, sent me this pic he took while rockin' it in NYC. aside from having exquisite fashion sense, Tres is a comicbook and graf artist reppin' the mighty TYS Collective (NYC-Cali STAND UP!). dude manages many hustles in the spirit of ghettoManga, and we mos definitely appreciate the love. for more of our coverage of Tres' Come Bien Books, go here. and make sure you visit the Come Bien mySpace spot too, homey! now, i'm not sayin' rockin' a ghettoManga hoodie will make you as fly as Tres... but it couldn't hurt! COP THAT!
