I've spent the last week finishing up my project. It was crunch time so everyday I had something I needed to fine tune, and also, I still needed to find a location to install my piece in the public.
I'm so excited to say that I found an awesome location, right near Santo Domingo, and really close to Arquetopia as well. I chose this wall, not only because of its centralized location with a lot of foot traffic, but because it had another mural by a couple of artists from Argentina right down the way. This meant they was hope for receiving permission (as this usually pretty tricky to do in downtown Oaxaca since you have to get permission from the city.)

Once I found this wall, I was totally set on getting it, but I had to face the daunting fact of getting permission from the Municipal... and somehow, by some miracle, I was granted permission by the mayor's assistant himself. It probably had to do with Steve and I's extraordinary professionalism! Anyhow, it worked, and I'm stoked.
Part of my proposal for getting the wall was that I would paint over the graffiti on my section, which I did: sorry drippy tits... but at least I left your hot sauce.
Stumbled across your new mural in Oaxaca today.... http://postcardsfromsanantonio.wordpress.com/2013/10/07/postcard-from-oaxaca-art-of-the-streets-chapter-2/
