(Former?) Tucson muralist Cyfi (Rock Martinez) has this 3-D work of a shark at the Artemizia Foundation in Bisbee. The big show is by another Tucson muralist, Jessica Gonzales. Artemizia specializes in contemporary, street art, graffiti... it's worth the trip if you're into that kind of art!

Yup, with Black Friday etc., it's the week that keeps your wallet busy. But -- especially this year, with Arizona's funding small -- think about giving to the arts. To find favorite organizations, go to their website, or their social media, and either look for Giving Tuesday or just for donations.

This oil painting is very close to completion…

She is birthing.
She is rising.
Awakening into ancient remembrance of her divine essence.

KGUN9 TV News broadcast this interview with Joe Pagac yesterday. Not much serious, just fun. (Joe is actually out of the country, so I'm guessing this was taped a week ago or so.)

The All Souls Procession is November 7th-9th. Tucson artist Ruben Moreno was selected to design the posters, T-shirt, and altar space for this year. A big chunk of this Tucson Sentinel article is about Ruben; the rest is about what'll happen overall.
