Friday-Was A Good Day
Friday was a beautiful day, the air was cool and my front yard looked great, gracias “JEFE”. The water made the grass look like it had just been cut and the plants made me feel like I was in the jungles of Tikal again.
I was ready to leave to work when I decided to archive this nice day, jeje. Got in the dopest car my SCION and started the engine for a quick warm up.
Then I noticed I was running late, again. Aghhh.
Got to the office to find my newly purchased GI Joe Figurine for inspiration “wink wink” chillin’ there. Aghh I looks sick.
PUt my stuff on the side like always, to begin the daily grind.
After a while me and the crew decided to get a coffee break as usual to catch up on the news and to talk about different work related concepts (Riiiigggght)There’s my little mug I bought in my last trip to Guaymas, Sonora.
During our lunch break we went to Toys R’ Us first before eating.
Here’s the crew well part of it, there’s two more guys missing, they are showing off their soon to be purchased toys. Castro aka Gansgterbilly, Ralph Benitez our Art Director and in the back Jose Uriarte JCUriarte Designs.
The new GI Joe figures are dope compared to the True Heroes line, but they can’t beat the True Heroes five pack for $7.99 it’s the same prize as the GI Joe Figure. What a good brand name can do.
Sick.
This is cool. I didn’t like Star Trek very much until I saw the new movie.
BumbleBee.
These are sick, the reason why is because as you buy the collection you get a piece of the ring set, so by the time you buy the whole thing you have a full ring along with chairs and crazy accessories.
This collection is one of my favorites I found a couple of these characters for five bucks at the Swap Meet.
This dude looks scary, it’s funny how close he looks to Christian Bale, this is when you know there was full dedication to this line.
On the way out I saw this guy, El Dumbo. What happened next? We had a nice lunch then went back to work and later that day I went home, hung out with the homie John, ate some bomb tacos and then headed over to La Cueva for a night of dancing/pistiando 
. Hope you enjoyed the post. Saludos.
Botan: Insurgentes
You might remember Botan from an early post I did last year I believe, I was meaning to take a picture of him to connect the face with the creation that has circulated the world.
The image above is one of the Illustrations that has been bootlegged a million times here and in Mexico, he is the original creator of ”Las Calaquita Shirts” that you have probably seen every where by now whether at the local Swap Meet or in the back window of a car, honestly one of the most iconic images of this time in our industry. He’s a very cool and chill dude, every-time I go I learn a little more about the industry. Thanks for all the great advice Señor. 
We also got to see a Sneak Peek on the new Skateboards he’s about to release. A collaboration with Almas From Kinto Sol and Botan, honestly this project came out sick. Hit up Nahui Ohlin to get your Limited Edition Piece.
Plaza Olvera In LA
What Up guys? DIMEX here, coming back for another story in the crazy process of getting new accounts and getting ready to print new tees. This time we found ourselves in the one and only Olvera Street or as many people call it “La Plazita Olivera” or at least that’s how I always thought it was called, until now, “hay que pendejo” jeje. I first saw this cool place back when I was in the process of becoming a resident of the U.S. because it’s across the street from the INS building in Downtown LA. This is the place I always used to go to after me and my mom would finish our business at the INS building. I used to hate the INS building “con odio Jarocho” we used to get there at 5:30 AM or even sometimes sleep there just to get a number to get attended. Talking about a waste of time to me in those days, of course now I thank my mom for beating it into my head that If I was going to do something in this country I was going to need some legal documentation, I honestly don’t know for what, Joking. So I went because she made me. Thanks MOM! 
We went into a store called Olveritas Village it’s all the way in the back by where the best Taquitos spot I have at in. The place was full of everything you can think of (culturally traditional speaking). From Charro suits to small clay Calaquitas for El Dia De Los Muertos. Of course I had to take some images, 1: For research purposes and 2: To practice on my Photography which I’m trying to improve on, and 3: For you.
This is my type of art. Honestly I have always loved these type of characters, they are also very expensive and worth every penny, look at all the details.
They even had some Aztec suits, along with every traditional folkloric dress you can think of. Honestly the closest you can get to beautifully MEXICAN made artesania.
After Jessenia talked to the owner and showed our product , we headed to one of the Taquito places I was telling you about. Here’s a picture para que se te haga agua a la boca.
Jessenia was really excited about the order so she couldn’t even eat, but then found out it was really late and we had to get to another store before they closed. So she wrapped her stuff to go. Buuuuttt……
I was already finished, jeje. Soooo good. Provecho.
