| Summary: | Charles Bojórquez, a resident of Mt. Washington, California, began his art career by spray-painting along riverbeds. He spent a summer at art school in Guadalajara, Mexico, and attended classes at Chouinard Art Institute (now Cal Arts) the year before graduating from high school in 1967. By the end of 1969, Bojórquez had created a symbol that represented him and the streets - a stylized skull called Señor Suerte (Mr. Luck). His work has been called "caligraffiti" - calligraphy + graffiti. "The book is structured in three parts: a few introductory texts and the interview, a section dedicated to drawings and black and white artwork, and in the last section Chaz's pictorial production."--P. 15. |
