The Fiesta Grande Street Fair
|
I had a blast providing the promotional art and graphics for the Fiesta Grande committee for a couple of years before this proud tradition was put on hiatus. I so look forward to its return one day! It was the best Chicano street fair in the Southwest, IMHO -- they had it goin' on. I donated all my posters and digital files to them for future use. Andale!

Artist's tidbit - what I loved most about this project was rekindling old memories of living Lowrider Culture in the L.A. Harbor area, 1960's-70:
The now classic music. Cruising the strips on weekends. Chicano and Surfer car clubs showing off. (Yeah, there were plenty of white on brown gang fights.) Sneaking booze into community dances where bands like the fledgling El Chicano and Malo were playing... |
