El Jefe

El Jefe, the Chief, is your typical Hispanic badass. The model is Noe, my assistant Erin's husband. The kid that appears is their son Royce. The first time I went to Mexico I was knocked flat by those funky religious altars put together with cast iron, frayed fabric, photos, candles and crepe paper. If I could make a living building sets like that I'd be out of my mind with gratitude. This Saint is in that vein esthetically - but it's El Jefe's command to do things your own way.
