Mini Mural Project

This past summer I was one of several artists selected to participate in San Anto Cultural Arts "Mini Mural Project". We designed and painted a mural on a special fabric and when completed would be permanently placed on a wall. My mural depicted iconic masked Mexican wrestler Mil Mascaras on a postage stamp. 

Carpa Garcia Play

Last years production of "La Carpa Garcia".

I've been rehearsing at SaySi for their production of "La Carpa Garcia", an original SaySi play based on the true story of the Carpa Garcia of San Antonio, Texas.

 In it, I play the part of the elderly Rodolfo Garcia, who was the clown character "Don Fito" on the show. I played the role last year and am very happy to have been invited to do it again. 

My wife and I are also both helping put together a silhouette sequence in the play. I've given some clown instruction/direction to the young man playing the youthful version of Don Fito. I provided some bits to get him started on a routine he'll be developing for the play. The play opens September 26th.
