Last month I was invited to participate in the ¡Lotería, Lotería! exhibition curated by the Bath House Cultural Center. 54 artists each created their own interpretation of an image from the Lotería Mexican game of chance which resembles a form of bingo. My contribution, “La Muerte,” will be showcased as a 16″ x 20″ signed Somerset Velvet Giclee print. Along with the exhibition will be sets of cards utilizing the show’s artwork available for sale. The opening reception is Saturday, April 30th, 7-9 PM. (Learn more about the show at the official site for the Bath House Cultural Center.)

“The Society of Sinister Simians” explores the mysterious world of an evil collection of vicious and power hungry primates that held sway over the land centuries ago. Thanks to the efforts of the ill-fated Sourcrust archeological dig of 1887, details of this foul organization have finally come to light. In this book you will learn of The Society’s immortal leader, his powerful and brutal cadre of ministers and advisors, as well as a variety of assassins, spies, soldiers and frightful supernatural figures.
Twenty-four evil simians are fully illustrated and are accompanied by extensive biographies in the text. A map detailing the realm of sinister sway, two-page spreads of weapons and medals galleries, as well as an addendum of sinister ephemera are also included.
