STOP GANG VIOLENCE R.I.P PRIMO MR. CHUCO

About thirteen years ago my primo "chuco" Rafael Topete was murdered beacuse of gang violence. He use to draw these firme collages of azteca'a lowriders and beatiful woman. I remember he always used to draw these clowns,, i guess he saw life was joke, "el que se aguita pierde" simle now and cry later. I did'nt get it then, but now I do ! I had the blessing for him to draw in my piece book when i was a lil homie coming up. He did this OG clown with slick hair and a big mustache, and a half face of a woman shaded all proper. The key hole he told me was for the family and homie's we had in jail and a tear drop symbolizing the morning of those gone. (deep stuff)...








This acutally is a piece that i decided to do to pay homage to my Primo Ese Chuco. He drew a picture for me back in the day he is one of my early influence in the chicano art. Rest In Peace ese Chuco. Stop gang violence.
