Ron Pokrasso: The Beautiful Trouble of Making
By Brian D’Ambrosio The print shop is a place of stains. Ink gets under the fingernails. Solvent hangs in the air. Paper takes the pressure of the press and remembers it. Metal remembers it, too. Everything leaves a trace. For Ron Pokrasso, that is part of the attraction.

Gustavo Montoya
Gustavo Montoya was and is a talented Mexican painter who passed in the early 2000’s, he painted portraits of the towns children, he painted scenes from the town from which he had been born. I discovered this artist and his work by accident when we were studying Frida and Diego. He used to hang around with both fellow painters and all three were friends.

I saw the Imagine Peace Tower
I was in awe of it, and I showed it to my mother; that peace was something beautiful to see. I saw a little bit of it, and I was still inspired, and I still remember it to this day. Besides, you don’t see something beautiful like that every day. You’re doing a wonderful job creating this beautiful imaginary Tower of Peace. Later, I had a poster of the tower in my room.

The Homies
When I was in highschool I used to collect The Homies figurines and I thought that they were cool as I still do. They were created by David Gonzales a fictional latin barrio in california and they are tightknit. I had a couple of posters as well as the figurines too. Each piece is a beautifully done little piece of art. There is a little kid spin off appropriately titled “Mijos” which is spanish for my children or my kids.

Graffiti is not a crime.
I love grafiti. It is a form of art, and it is also a language of the streets. It is in no way, size, shape or form a crime of any kind. The streets is the canvas and the museum with which the artists who create graffiti can put their work. One of my favourite things to do is to take photos of the graffiti that i see and i have put them all in a collection on instagram named after the classic Prince album and movie “Graffiti Bridge”. Graffiti is art and it is an insult to the artists when it is covered and destroyed.
