Just received our first Zine submissions for review today! Suffice it to say, they all look great! Soto and I will be looking these over within the next few days, and I’ll be discussing details with SlushPilePress, but it looks as though these will be available for purchase sometime early June if all goes well.
Cheers!
” A Black Ignorant Fool” for speaking my truth. SMH people are showing their truest colors…or lack thereof!
Show them support, there is a lot bullshit going on in the comment section of their video.
Hi, I wrote this poem to George Zimmerman in the form of a letter. I would love for you to share it! Many thanks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtLy3gNCYqk&feature=relmfu
Art by Araceli Espinoza.
I just want to remind everyone who is following that I don’t bite. If you have a zine you want me to carry, or even look at, review; whatever! Just send me a message on here or email. If you’d like to be a part of the first issue of Foxalives collective zine, that can also be arranged, just let me know.
Also, if you’d just like to have your art listed, just let me know. I realize this project isn’t that big right now, and still requires a lot more organization, but we’re only getting started!
My buddy Lizz is organizing this. I’m going to see if I can find someone to switch shifts with to attend this as well.
I would love to go to this, just to bring stuff and go! What state is this in?
Sorry I didn’t mention! It’s in southern California.

you are not “his-panic”, you are not the government’s panic.
you are chicano, the people that have always been here before the spaniards.
your history is rich, your people knew how to create irrigation systems, farming, goldsmith, and adobe building.
you are chicano because the river has never divided us.
you are chicano because you are proud of it.
you are chicano because you believe in equality of all people and all of love.
For anyone interested in seeing this mural in person, it’s in Los Angele’s California, here’s the info:
Location: Estrada Courts
Address: 3217 Olympic Blvd.
Artist: El congreso de Artistas Cosmicos de las Americas de San Diego
After recent recognition of these murals being recognized as art, many of their creators are returning to restore their pieces to original condition after years of literal white-washing, and severe amounts of tagging.
Feel free to message me with any questions, comments, or concerns about anything on this blog; trying to organize this all a bit more, but I'll need all your help. If you see anything offensive that I've missed, please let me know and I'll remove it right away.
If you're an artist who'd like to have their work listed here, zines distributed by me, or maybe just contribute to any up-coming collective zines planned; again, just message me.
This blog mainly serves as a tool to acknowledge POC who are either starting out as artists, or already have accomplished much, and to bring about a sense of community in an over-whealmingly white dominated enviornment.
