Scanning Around With Gene: Mexican Flea Market Art
[Editor’s note: Just hours after this blog post was published, several sharp-eyed CreativePro.com readers informed me that the images in these posters were created by Octavio Ocampo. My apologies for not properly crediting the artist, and for unknowingly posting copyrighted images. I have replaced the scans with watermarked images from the artist’s Web site, which the artist has OK’ed for reproduction in situations like this article.]
At an old, abandoned drive-in-movie theater off Interstate 880 in Oakland, California, is a weekly flea market. I rarely go as there are much better flea markets in the Bay Area, but an extra hour last Saturday found me paying $1.50 to get through the gate.
