Let me introduce you to Lucious Maximus Alexander Quirno Diaz Barriga. (i am guessing it is pronounced loo-SEE-us) He is the youngest member of the spraying posse over at the Pure Experimentation: STENCILRY class. He lives in that warm sweet country just to the south of us which I love, Mexico! He wanted to take the class himself, but his mama thought he was too young to do it independently so she kindly agreed to sign up with him as co-pilot. He is, as she put it, her Maximum Light. How dear is that?
I would also like to have him co-pilot the voyage to Lisbon my sister and I are embarking on in a few short weeks. Wouldn't he make great company? He is already a world class jet-setter having been to Stuggart Germany and Paris when he was 4, and Italy last year.
Yesterday his dear mama, Teresa, sent me these photos of his creations and I stood up and cheered. Bravo Lucious Max, you gorgeous clever young artist! I can see the makings of an artistic genius in his work. Note the shapes, forms, and colors he has chosen. Are they not marveloso?!
Do you see what I see in the piece below? Those faint illustrations underneath the spray? I LOVE those.
If you'd like to join Lucious Max and the rest of the spraying posse you may do so at anytime. You may work at your own pace, like that of a snail, or if a fast moving art storm is more your speed....by all means. Registration continues until July 17th.
Here's a brief rundown: 32 videos * 77 pages worth of color pdf * 40 buckeroos Muchachos already enrolled: go to the class blog for the first video of LESSON 2.
I'm releasing it early. Because you're cute and I like you. So there.
Kids are so wonderful...they have no inhibitions and will try anything...all guts! Love it...you go Lucious Maximus!

Hmm...."the class is sooooooo tempting and payday is soon", she said as she leaned, tippy-toey, around the corner hoping to catch a glimpse of its early arrival!

Awesome! This put a huge grin on my face. I am enrolled in the class and I have been thinking about how I could incorporate this into my teaching. I am so going to do it now!! What an inspirational person!
