back in may i was asked to do an interview about Adapta Project for Where Traveler. if you’re unfamiliar (as i was) with Where, they are a travel info publisher who puts out books, magazines, and maps. as i say, i wasn’t really familiar with what they do, so i was expecting the article to be in a magazine…

instead it was in a nice, glossy paged, hardcover book. cool! apparently the article is in one of their “guestbooks” which is published annually(?). the guestbook is basically a travel guide all about touristy stuff to do while in san diego - dining, clubs, museums, and so on - and it’s distributed to hotels and such in the san diego area.

anyway, here’s the cover:

looking inside the book, and towards the middle, we get to the intro spread of the article. that’s a photo of the san diego tijuana border - the article is about how adapta is bringing tijuana and san diego artists together in an effort to gain attention and recognition of the growing art scenes in both these border cities.

turn the page and on the left you see a picture that was taken at adapta’s show Army of icons at the san diego childrens museum, and on the right is a piece by artist and adapta member Jorge Tellaeche

turn the page again and your hit in the face with a full page of arrow deco. man, i wasn’t expecting to be so prominently featured. and on the right is a photo of 2 of my pieces from adapta’s Phantasmagoria show back in august of last year (has it been that long?).

thanks to the adapta trio (jorge, jaime, and kinsee) for being such a supporter of my work, and to Where’s mark hiss for the full page eye candy.
