Artist's Comments

You remember this Indian guy from my high school days? Well he's back and once again he's pissed off about Indian issues lol. I've been goin through a lot of experiencing and changing, but I've come to realize I've just been trying to please other people here, and I missed being a majorly involved political artist. Money has become more important to me, which made me drop art and look in other areas of study that would benefit my future.
But I've come to realize I lost the true meaning of why it was I did art all the time, I lost the reason why I even came to college. I forgot to accept the not rich lifestyle that comes with art-related careers, and I'm willing to accept that because nothing makes me more happy and passionate about things than doing it all through art like I used to do all the time.
With a combination of Art and American Indian Studies, I believe I've found myself again, and continuing to pursue why it is I came here in the first place.

to make a long story short, expect some awesome-ass political art in the near future ;) The ndn activist is back!

and P.S...¡YA BASTA! is spanish for "enough!", the slogan used by EZLN, or the organized rebellious group of traditional indigenous indians in Latin America.
and the red star symbolizes today among many activist groups the symbol of radical change..not communism like your folks and schools brought you up to think.

When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish
