Subject: Self Help Graphics July 29
Hi friends,
tomorrow July 29 is the big annual Self Help Graphics Exhibition and Print
Sale. Absolutely the best time and place to start/continue collecting Chicana/o
Art.
Attached is more information as well as directions. Or simply look up www.selfhelpgraphics.com.
Last week
there was a group of people concerned about a print which will be on exhibit
titled "Our Lady of Controversy." The print is based on the "Our
Lady" digital print which was the topic of a big scandal in Santa Fe
more than a year ago. This new print is wearing boxing gloves, which are not
meant to represent violence, but the need to be ready to defend our right
to freedom of expression.
I don't
think anything will happen tomorrow, but if you are in town and able to go
to Self Help, please do. Self Help is an amazing community art organization
that supports artists like me.
Thank you, Alma

How sad
that you display Our Lady, Queen of Heaven and Earth, Our Mother and the Mother
of all, Jesus' Mother in a horrid manner. Someday little one you will have
to look at Jesus and explain to Him why you did this.
I will
pray for you and all who think this is a good thing. I cry for you today!
Amy Tarr
We are
created to praise and serve our Lord, and by this means to save our soul.
Everyone and everything on earth is created to help us reach the end for which
we are created. Hence, we make use of all things insofar as they help us reach
our eternal destiny, and get rid of whatever hinders us from attaining our
ultimate goal.
Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees.-- William Cowper
The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.
The greatest wisdom of all is to seek the kingdom of Heaven by despising the
things of the world.

Dear Ms.
Lopez,
I must tell you that if you have no respect for the Mother Of GOD than
to portray her as you have, there isnt really anything to say that will make
you see the error in what you have done, It is abvious you do not fear or
revere the Wrath of him whose Mother you scandalize.,
I will pray for you and all those like you who make a mockery of The Mother
of Our LORD and Savior JESUS CHRIST.
