You were one of the first artist artists I saw that I was Impressed with! A lot of things have happened to me since then, I hosted an art show with the Great Steven Johnson Leyba in Minneapolis!

This is marvelous! I can't get over the precision you have in your designs--in graphite! The rabbit painting is a nice touch, too.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful commentary! I appreciate it. 
Glad you like the rabbit! Here's a little i wrote about it's meaning: "the rabbit is an emblematic self portrait/signature as K'uy or T'u'ul: the Mayan's divine rabbit. In the Mixe–Zoque language the word k'oy means to engrave or mark, and koy translates as "to paint". I feel the similarities in the words may not be coincidental, as the rabbit is often depicted as a scribe and creator of the codex. The rabbit is sitting in a stylized Mayan moon throne, and has the glyph "white World Bridger" in it's ear. White World Bridger is a fourth of both Frida and I's Mayan astrology. The rabbit is painting the lines of the leaf in front of it, and has created the entire drawing as a record of it's perspective."

Very nice. Is the monkey Diego? and LOL the Maya rabbit scribe at the bottom right. Too many nice touches to mention.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha! No, the monkey isn't Diego.... it's the monkey from the nazca lines in Peru. I put it in because of Frida's love for monkeys, and because it fit in with the South American theme. I didn't portray Diego in this piece because I personally think he was kind of a big jerk to Frida. Glad you like this piece!
