A long story


 Here is a photo of an ofrenda for the Day of the Dead at the Mexican Fine Arts Museum



 The Trib included it in an article which became the newspaper that I laid down underneath my paintings.



I gussied it up a bit and cropped out the surrounding newsprint and displayed it last week.



Then I added the surrounding newsprint area and made it my Work of Art.



Of course the Work of Art itself was painted on top of newspaper and when I looked at the original precrop photo I thought that don't look half bad.  I reckon you know what is coming next.

  3. So, I'm not quite sure of your process, but it looks like you recreated the newspaper article/sacrifice sheet on Yupo? and then put that on newspaper? I'm not quite sure what's coming next, but I definitely am along for the ride!
