Ink and watercolor on paper by Elio Vilva Trujillo of Cuba in 2000, a self taught artist influenced by the Santeria religion. The (translated from Spanish) text around the perimeter reads: "CHANGÓ. Greater Orisha. God of fire, lightning, war, ilú batá, dance, music and virile beauty, patron of warriors and storms. His godfather is Osain who gave him the secret of herbs. His number is 4 and his days are Friday and all 4. His colors are red and white. He is the father of the ibejis. His lovers are innumerable although his own wives are Oyá obba Yurú and Ochún. It is synchronized in Cuba with Santa Bárbara and is celebrated on December 4."

following a frustrating (but not unexpected) meeting at the county clerk's office, i headed to the local thrift to spend a little time breathing and hiding from the general national psychosis.

Scored this beautiful early ECM records gem for 54 cents, but the real prize was homemade button Jesus.

The Simple Sabotage Field Manual (an old CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace) wouldn't exactly be super relevant/helpful in my work, but I am loving these suggestions!
