Arte Latino exhibit currently showing in San Diego

In conjuction with the upcoming San Diego Latino Film Festival, there is a group show featuring the works of a number of artists from animation, comics and illustration, including the late Ernesto "El Chango' Garcia Cabral (1890-1968), considered one of Mexico's greatest political cartoonists. Also featured in the show are comic artists Rafael Navarro, Richard Dominguez, Billy Martinez, David Alvarez and your truly. Also included in the exhibit are Jorge Gutierrez & Sandra Equihua, creators of the Nickelodean show El TIGRE.

The exhibit opened on Feb. 15 and will run through the conclusion of the Latino Film Festival, on March 18, and is displayed at the House of Charm in Balboa Park in the San Diego Art Institute: Museum of the Living Artist (Boy, I'm glad to be exhibiting at a place called 'The Living Artist'!). There will be an artist reception on March 13, from 7:30pm-9pm, where I and several of the other artists will be in attendance.

Here's a couple of pics of the display courtesy of Patric Stillman, the Director of Operations for the Media Arts Center, San Diego. I'll take my own pics at the reception and post them here. If you're in the area, please check out the exhibit and the film festival.
