I stay at home all day and take care of my infant son and after school, my little girl. and then of the rest of the housework and cooking.
In-between I am an artist, graphic designer and jeweler. I am in the middle of a great many different projects so I have little time to achieve all I would like.
But in the words of R. Crumb: I "Keep on Trucking".
As for my work this is for my Grandfather Lucio who told me of this experience...
My Grandfather (Lucio) and Great-grandfather (Clarence), both dug the wells in Chama NM, the town where I was raised.
At one point, at or around 1936, they needed to dig the well for the "new" town center. A well to be used by the Shamrock Hotel, where I grew up, and the Rainbow Amphitheater, which were to be built as soon as construction was complete.
The only hang up, was that the construction site was the old cemetery. So, they dug up the monuments and remains to move them to the new cemetery. While doing so, he found that all of the Catholics, and only the Catholics, had crosses burned into their skulls... Contact Information None available. More about Clayton C. DeYapp None available.
