Many of you may remember Juan Martinez, mi amigo and carpenter extraordinaire of Adios mosquitos and A terrace transformed fame. Well, he is a man of many talents — and one of them is building kaleidoscopes. Given that his “day job” is working in the office of Gorilla Glass, he has come into contact with many of the hip, young, and talented artists currently creating in Oaxaca. Thus, a natural collaboration ensued. Juan + Gorilla Glass + Lapiztola stencil = an exhibition of the Lapiztola Collective’s artistry at Gorilla Gallery.
Looking into the eye of the kaleidoscope.
What do you see?
There is the second kaleidoscope — this one a hand-crank. Come by Gorilla Gallery on one of the next couple of Thursdays from 2 PM to 8 PM, to give it a try.
And, be forewarned, they are working on a special Día de los Muertos kaleidoscopic project. Prepare to be amazed!

You’d want to look for hours!
I know… plan to return when there aren’t so many people waiting their turn. 🙂
What fun!
Did you know, I work in the world’s largest kaleidoscope store! It’s called Nellie Bly (in Jerome, Arizona)
No, I didn’t. I hope you get to “test” all the merchandise!
Shannon, your erstwhile father-in-law Ford Sheppard, an artist, would have been proud of your artistic photography. He also gave me my first kaleidoscope.

Thanks, Barry! Do you still have a kaleidoscope?
