Border art can be ephimeral to most intellectual people, but to understand it you must be a farmer picker, sufferred of discrimination, solace and recentment from both civilized societies. Our uncertain future looks so dreary, that whenerver I go outside my front door, I just want to return and be with my Mommy. I can tell you all this: If You want to be labeled a " BORDER ARTIST ", you must be willing to pay the price, I did and Don't even know If I like it.
I just know, that when I am gone, i will be remembered as one of the greatest " Batos chingones " from this side of the river and from between San Anton and Corpitos.
If you want to be like me, be like Me... I don't Mind - just do it !!!

If you are aiming to generatew a feature article in a monthly consumer publication to coincide with the opening of an exhibition, this task should begin a year before the opening begins or opens.
Time and planning are required to solicit the interest of a freelance journalist or to have an editor assing a journalist to cover the story. Once a writer is selected, an interview or a series of interviews will / should be conducted, and the writer will prepare a draft of the article and will usually have more questions to ask. Photographic sessions will also need to be arranged on time.
