BORDER VIOLENCE INSPIRES HARLINGEN ARTIST

Following is a note sent to The Art of Brownsville blog:

hello
my name is Rigoberto Gonzalez [web site] I am a local artist and think you and the people who follow your blog might find my work interesting. Here are some links to some news coverage I have been getting for my artwork. I just spent two years in an artist residency in New Mexico and currently living in Harlingen. I believe they are interesting and worth your time.

WOW!!!! This guy is good and his paintings are all so real and awesome. My question: What's he doing in sleepy Harlingen? how about an interview with this guy? His border violence stuff is on the spot dead on reality!!! So now when is the local museum going to have his paintings on exhibit? Or is too radical and real for the old farst that run this town? wake up!!!! Congratulations Mr. Gonzalez on your gift.

Art? I'd rather visit blogdelnarco.com and read and view what the American and Mexican media are to scared or intimidated to print.

The Herald? El Bravo? El MaƱana? Nah, too scared to print the truth about the narcoviolence.

Heck, just go to Jerry Mchale's new blog. You know he's got pictures of the real thing. And he didn't need any paints to do it. Unless you wanna call blood, paint.

The art and especially are more moving than reality. More alive than life - Really emotional!
