I'm all about Pearl Jam and I'm still waiting for the big grunge comeback. Mark my words homeskillet, flannel plaid will rise again! I'm also into Manu Chao, Mala Rodriguez, M-flo, Los Abandoned, M.I.A., Belanova, Goapele, Plastilina Mosh, Spank Rock, Amanda Blank, J-Boogie's Dubtronic Science, Girl in a Coma, The Ho-bots, and last but not least I can usually be found singing Morrissey's First of the Gang to Die. My big secret though is that I'm obsessed with freestyle music. Part nostalgia - part good beats, I can't get enough...Movies
Top five favorite movies of all time:1. Army of Darkness
2. Waking the Dead
3. Before Sunset
4. Before Sunrise
5. Macross Plus (movie edition)

..And so my own truth telling, as far as I’m able to muster up the courage to say what needs to be said, and that thing is on a continuum because all of us are made cowards by the realization that ultimately we have never said everything we’re supposed to say. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “I have said so poorly what I have seen so clearly.” And that’s the truth. -Michael Eric DysonHeroes

About me:
..I was born and raised on the mean streets of San Francisco's Mission District. It was on these ghettolicious streets that I fell in love and had many adventures. I have a degree in Photography and Media from.. CalArts ..and an ambition to change the world. Take it from your boy El Rio, don't follow leaders and watch the parking meters. I currently work at the South of Market Cultural Center. My primary interest, as an artist, is in combining icons and mythologies. As a child growing up Chicano I was often frustrated that Chicano art and iconography rarely intersected with my personal mythologies of comic books, pro-wrestling, music, and Godzilla movies. My images bring together my heroes, friends, and childhood fantasies with Chicano aesthetics, traditional images, and politics. They are a fulfillment of my childhood yearnings and an exploration of my relationship to the worlds I walk between.
My newest series of work made with my collective The Great Tortilla Conspiracy, artwork made on and with Corn Tortillas, can be seen at tortillaconspiracy.com.
Who I'd like to meet:
Artists, people from the Bay Area, professional wrestlers, comic book readers, Allan Sekula.Details
