In late August and early September we teamed up with Leslie Lopez to publish three new prints for her upcoming solo exhibit at EastSide Arts Alliance in East Oakland. Leslie has been a graffiti writer and a teacher with Visual Element and in several Oakland high schools. We first began mentoring Leslie in 2010 along with Natalia from Xochitlceive when we published a series of five prints in Spring of 2010. Over the past year Leslie has worked in the studio with me, mixing and matching colors for many prints and improving her understanding of the medium. We are really happy with the new prints and can’t wait to see her new paintings in the exhibit.
