My aunt Barbara makes these beautifully intricate Guadalupe wall hangings. Everything sewn, painted and applied by hand with the utmost love.

Last day in NYC and we finally hit up the Museum of Modern Art. Crazy to think that one building can hold so many works of art that changed the world. A great way to end a week in NYC. Tomorrow we begin the journey back to New Mexico. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers! Hare krishna! #moma #matisse #nyc (at MoMA The Museum of Modern Art)

Ran into this incredible Cliff Raven back piece and leg sleeves in the park next to the Rothko Chapel. Such synchronistic event. Said this was tattooed in the 70's in California. Flipped out when he mentioned Cliff's name. Incredible. @vintage_tattoos #cliffraven #healedtattoo #magictattoo #chicagotattoohistory #rothkochapel #houston #texas #japanesetattoo #traditionaltattoo (at Rothko Chapel)
