Welcome to Joyland

Kapre, the cigar-smoking tree-dwelling giant from the Philippines! 🚬🎍Paper sculptures are fun! See you at the show tonight, details here: @hellionmx (at SadBoy Premium Goods) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrEH9DcFDXn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o4w4bolrk1uo

Kapre was known as a typically harmless nature spirit who enjoyed smoking and sitting up in the trees. The Kapre’s origins are in precolonial Filipino animist beliefs. Spanish colonization turned the phrase “Kapre” to mean uncouth, uncivilized, dark hair, eyes and skin #decolonizehistory #decolonizeyourmind #takebackindigenousmyths (at Mexico City, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrBuhzelPkX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jgumjn2dmvvp

Repost from @hellionmx. Detail of some knees. Got to paint and rework this blank “diabilito” for the Taller Del Diablo show happening this Thursday. Mine is inspired by Kapre, the mythological cigar smoking tree giant from the Philippines 🌳 (at SadBoy Premium Goods) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_UC3bFBfc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1570mg5up3qm6

Made this little Peyote Pal pot in @martin_ferreyra’s studio 🍚

A little stamp for signing prints 🎎

Thank you friends for the herbal smoke blend box orders! I'm really excited about this project. A lot of care has been put into selecting the herbs, preparing them and of course the packaging for them. Here's a slideshow of what the mezcla contains. I wish you could smell them through the screen. In order: family portrait, the blend, damiana, mugwort, lavender, pot marigold, St. John's wort.🌿 If you'd like an order, please place today. Store closes tonight for the summer, but I'm bringing a few of these with me to the states this week 📦 (at Mexico City, Mexico)

Thank you to my friends at @mcclains.printmaking.supplies for the always quality carving tools. SO stoked for this new sankaku to v-gouge! #printmaking #tools #estudiomitl
