Inca Stars : The Llama's Constellation

From the Peruvian folk tale:

Urcuchillay – the Llama:

Perhaps the most important of the constellations to the Inca.
Llamas were of great importance to the Inca: they were food, beasts of burden and sacrifices to the gods. These sacrifices often took place at certain times with astronomical significance such as equinoxes and solstices. Llama herders were particularly attentive to the movements of the celestial llama and offered it sacrifices.

Irradiando luz

Not too long ago, mexican artist Argeo came to San Francisco and did a mural in the Mission District.

As murals, graffitti, wet pasting posters can be ephemeral art and easy target for taggers this one was no exception...

My friend Piojos Inc. asked me to cover the tag and I did so...

Here are some flowers radiating light and a pounding heart, the pounding heart of the Mission...

GRACIAS A MIS AMIGOS
