Still paying for the project...

  You may have noticed there hasn't been much activity around the actual zine/book, the final product of this project. The main reason for this is that we are still in the phase of paying off the debts we accrued to make the project happen. Some debts were planned, some weren't.
  Thanks to donations, selling prints from the project, and tax returns, we're almost there. Feel free to click the donate button and request a mail-order print along with your donation. also, all our prints are organized and available for you to keep forever via mail for a small fee: www.squartzine.info.
   The goal of this project is to relate the struggles of an Indigenous Peoples Rights & Resistance, and the international community supporting them. This is truly the most important part of the project and are excited to keep moving in that direction!

Making Progress...

 the Installation at Karma Cream is almost finished; go check it out! 'Opening' late next week...

New Squartzine Exhibit Going up in Gainesville!

  Even though Jessie is back in her hometown, Pittsburgh, we have the utmost pleasure of being offered to display our photos and posters at Karma Cream; a late night Organic & Vegan Friendly Coffee and Ice Cream shop in the midtown of Gainesville, FL.
  I started setting up Saturday night, then got a cold that's been going around. So I plan on hanging the rest of the stuff hung by Wednesday and having a 'meet (one of) the artists' type hangout in the shop late next week, so keep an eye out for more info!
  Look for framed 8x10s, 8.5x11 posters, BIG 11x17 posters, as well as postcards and 4x6's. Much of the text of the stencils and slogans are in spanish, and there will be translations posted in english for all of the images displayed, as well as a brief description for some of them. In order to make up the large chunk of money we spent to make the trip, document it, and print it out, not even to mention the money we need to publish a zine-book of our work, everything be available to take home with you for a small fee, as well as available on our website for mail order during and even after the exhibit is on display: http://squartzine.info
  There are also some of my original posters, paintings, and prints up, but they may only be there for a week, check'em out while you can.
  The more people that come out, see the prints, and take stuff home with them, the warmer Jessie will feel while she's snowed in up in Pennsylvania! We love you Jess!
   Thanks so much, -JB

Paint the Walls and Tear them Down!!

Print Show & Sale - Successful!

Bridge and the framed Prints

On Friday December 5th, we curated our own photo and poster exhibition at the Autonomous Workshop in Railroad Square in Tallahassee for the First Friday Art Walk. It was a great success!

Framed Photo Prints

We displayed tons of photos and prints ranging from posters to postcards from our recent journey documenting radical Stencil Art, Graffiti, and Street Art through northern parts of  the Yucatan and the southern state of Chiapas, Mexico! 

Poster Prints, Postcards, and Stencil Art

AND we'll still have the ability to make prints for you to take home and keep forever! Along with handmade crafts from the autonomous collectives in Chiapas, postcards, framed 8x10s, DVD's (possibly), posters, crafts by us, and more... 

Posters, Postcards, and a glimpse of the
handmade wonders of the Waldo Wildcrafts Collective

We are working on getting our ordering site up and running but for now, e-mail us and let us know the title on flickr of the image you're interested in and the size and we can send you a PayPal money request and the print of your choice!

Thanks again for everyone's support!!!

Art Show!!!

 The first showing of our photos will be Friday, December 3rd at the Autonomous Workshop at Railroad Square in Tallahassee!! We'll be selling prints from postcard size to 11" x 17" as well as crafts handmade by indigenous communities around San Cristóbal. Waldo WildCrafts Collective will also be setting up with some of their lovely DIY crafts.


  Final tallies are in and we've taken 3000 digital photos, 8 rolls of color 35 mm, 7 rolls of black and white 35 mm, and 4 hours of digital video. We're currently in the mad rush of editing digitally in time for the art show on Friday and locking ourselves in the darkroom to make prints. 


  We're also counting down the last hours of our Kickstarter fundraiser. There's a sad but realistic possibility that we're not going to make it. We hope that our kickstarter backers are willing to still support us through the donation button we have on our blogsite here. We're still offering the same rewards that we would have sent through Kickstarter. 


  After the Art Show in Tallahassee we're looking to have another show in Pittsburgh (and wherever else wants to have us) so keep watching for updates. We'll also be focusing on putting the zine itself together. Thanks for all of your support!

We're back in the states! Time to reflect and print...

  With a few close calls of running out of money and nearly missing buses, we made it home!!! The last week in Mexico was a whirlwind. We finished our last shooting session in San Cristobal as well as in the outskirts. We rented a scooter and rode out to El Arcotete and las grutas (caves). On our bus ride out of the city, we were able to take some photos of some Zapatista communities and the murals in the mountains.

  We stopped in Palenque to see the ruins. The grand scale, intricate detail, and ancient age combine for a really incredible impression. Then we took an overnight bus to Merida to meet back up with our friend William. We got there on a Sunday where there was the big Sunday Market. The whole Plaza Mayor is covered in vendors and live music plays all day. While in Merida we also got to go to the annual fair, the ruins at Izamal, and some incredible cenotes nearby. Cenotes are sinkholes carved out of the limestone and filled with water, some shallow enough to swim in.

  Unfortunately the adventures in Mexico had to come to and end,  so we made our way back towards Cancun to catch our flight. We stopped for a night in Tulum to enjoy the beach and then caught a collectivo and a bus to Cancun to fly back to Florida. We're in Orlando back at Tony and Bijou's house and by the weekend we should be back at the farm and starting to edit and print.

  We still need help though! We don't have money to print yet so pass the word! Our first show will be in Tallahassee on Dec. 3rd so if you're nearby, come on out!!
