Ruben Mendoza at 22

After a much-needed rainfall yesterday, the sky cleared this morning and things were perfectly pleasant.

So, Hector and I got to work.  Hummus to make, art to hang, Robert‘s lovely exhibit to take down, cleaning… and yeah, the mural!

It is a lot of fun having a business of my own. Seeing ideas play out real time in this dream world of ours and then getting to see them work – that is a pretty fun thing to experience.

Ruben’s art is up and ready.  I’m in the house doing a quick post before people show up.  At least, I hope they show up.  The artist isn’t even here yet.  That would be a thing making me go hmmmm.

Hector and I are having lively, lengthy talks about life here in this town.  What can I say, people are interesting.  Below is Ruben’s art on the walls.  I’m quite happy with the exhibit, the space feels great.

About Benjamin Allen Ellis

Some phoenix mythologies talk of the soul's hierarchy in terms of birds. The eagle being our pinnacle, the phoenix right below, constantly burning and dying and rebirthing in order to find itself born eagle. Since 2000, and my first public art show, I've used the Phoenix as a rallying cry for myself to take hold of what I want and keep 'rebirthing' until I get it. After eight years, it was time to consciously move on up. Hey - I'm goin' eagle.
