More art and artists
I was walking through Llano Park yesterday and saw a large group of people gathered around something or someone, so I went to investigate. It turned out to be Enrique Morales, an artist of a different sort, but still every bit an artist as the others. Here, I have been shooting all the big guns and this guy totally captured my imagination. I just stood and watched him along with everyone else. He was a handsome guy and a good street performer. As he sprayed with one hand, he had a lighter in the other, so there were bursts of flame as he worked. Using the simplest of tools and objects, a putty knife, pieces of paper, plastic plates, he created what I think is really cool art. The boy is good! I missed the very beginning, but here is much of the process and the finished painting.
I am kicking myself because I did not get a photo of his face. I thought of it just as I crossed the street into Jalatlaco. I shoulda gone back. As I said, he was a handsome kid, spoke English well and had it totally together as far as I could tell. I am going to keep my eyes open for him. I hope I can find him again so his portrait can go in with the others.

I have seen and watched Enrique many times in the Zocalo. What has always struck me is that his face is always looking down or covered by the spray mask so I think you captured him accurately.
Enrique is quite the show and seems to sell many pieces.
