Santa Fe’s Oldest House Poster Released

Here is a fun little article about a poster I recently designed for Santa Fe’s De Vargas Street House. Sean Michael Chavez often finds himself with a foot in two worlds. From his work as a fine art painter and as a graphic designer, he’s finding an appreciative audience everywhere he steps. At the Oldest House Indian Shop, Chavez’s Oldest House poster is a new favorite. The vintage-style image reflecting the traditional travel posters of the 1930s and ’40s was created by Chavez.. Read the full article here…

In The Buff

Last night I dreamed I was a mostly naked Indian weraring nothing but a pair of white Adidas shoes. My hair was long and straight as a board. It tickled my butt cheeks as I walked around like everything was normal. Today, I am wearing those same white tennis shoes in honor of the naked Indian that walks inside me.

SM Chavez Selected as ArtMuse Emerging Artist Winner

“…two strong entries by Mr. Chavez. What strikes me with Sean’s work is his thoughtful attention to design. Great shapes and movement through out… “Nothing Gold Can Stay” moves ahead in this category for the subtle muted color harmony and solid use of values to emphasize the poetry of the tree.”  – Kim Lordier, ArtMuse April, 2016. Special congrats as well to Damien Gonzales who was selected as finalist in the Masters category. That makes two Albuquerque painters who were honored in this competition that is open to anyone internationally.
