I'm Not a Journalist I Just Crush Alot

So this guy, in the middle, was paid $600 dollars a week to dissolve dead people in acid. Over the course of ten years he dissolved 300 bodies. His name is Santiago Meza López, aka "El Pozolero del Teo", this is pozole at the bottom. Enough said.

And who might have ordered all these bodies to be disposed of you might ask? a narcotraficante...duh! read an actual article about this here and here. Crazy shit.



*images used without permission from here and here. if i knew how to make pozole i totally would have made it just to take a picture of it...so sorry Taco Rosa.

Archive This!




So I once had a friend who told me that drawing and using materials that werent archival was a waste of time so you could imagine my surprise when I walked into a museum and saw some guy drawing on the floor with water. Fine, it was really a video projection of some guy drawing on the floor with water which I guess defeats my first sentence but... somehow, some way I couldnt shake off the feeling I had seen this before. Sure, it was interesting watching the drawings disappear as the water evaporated but...this was hella contrive! or maybe I am just getting old...or been to too many art shows. Yet, I must admit it was way more interesting watching some kids and their parents see some video projection of some man getting hanged in the previous room. Then again thats something an artsy fartsy person would say...
