Aliens in The Bronx, again!

Aliens' last show at Mr Papo's Drink-n Draw art show, @The Bronx Museum of the Art

I am pleased to announce the last Aliens I New York show of this year.

This will be part of Mr. PAPO's POPED UP DRINK-N-DRAW MONSTROSITY.

This is a very fantastic and fun art event run by my pal and great comic/manga artist, Ivan.

Please see the details of the event from last June.

I am preparing for the event now, painting several old Peekaboo-kuns white to make blank Peekaboo-kuns to the event. Thanks and Adieu for Characters on boards.

I will draw models on the boards impromptu creating new Peekaboo-kuns at the sight.

This is my first challenge.

I have no information about models before the event, so I'm not sure who I will draw and create for. After the creating new Peekaboo-kuns, visitors can try on them and enjoy being other queer person.

Please come, draw, drink, eat, and meet me!

Date & Time:Sunday, Nov. 9th at 5-9pm
Place: The fabulous lower gallery of the Bronx Museum of the Arts

I am looking forward to see you in the Bronx. Please bring your friends, neighbors, lovers, acquaintances, etc…  You can also enjoy music, drawing, and visit the museum. Have you ever been to The Bronx Museum? If not, it is a perfect timing to try visiting there.

Aliens on Bronx Summer Street

I took part in the Bronx Museum’s Boogie On The Boulevard on 17^th Sunday August.

One was Mr. Papo Jr. Drawing Art show by my friend, cartoonist Ivan Velez. We enjoyed drawing the fabulous models in super hero’s costume. 

Other one was my art project Aliens in New York.

I carried  Irish man, Puerto Rico man, Ukraine woman,  Kenya woman,  Ecuador man,

Mexican man, Dominica Republic woman of Peekaboo-kuns.

I didn’t create art certificates in this time because of short of budget, but it was still fun and many passer-by enjoyed those Peekaboo-sculptures.

Drawing of a super woman model and children. I draw one sketch in 3-5 minutes.

I love this quick moment!

Peekabooing people are enjoying talking each other.

My friend, artist Laura Alavrez becomes Irish man.
