About This Image

The inspiration from art can sometimes come from unexpected places. During my own Mayan adventure at Palenque, I was photographing the ruins of the Temple of the Inscriptions. In fact, I had just finished when this young adventurer appeared out of nowhere dashing into the scene for his own look, and, I think, a photo of the same temple. There was just something about his outfit and the exuberance that tugged at my heartstrings a little. And suddenly, I saw Palenque through much younger eyes.

This print is based off a photo of that young boy’s Mayan adventure. It was an entirely unplanned moment but I reacted and captured it. In fact, if he had dashed into my view just a bit later I probably would have already put my camera away and missed this golden opportunity. It’s funny how things work out sometime isn’t it?

I have to admit that morning as I stood in the hot tropical jungle, any sense of my own Mayan adventure was wearing thin. The ruins at Palenque are far from the first Mesoamerican ruins I’ve seen and I was sweating buckets. It’s amazing how quickly something can alter our perception. His sense of adventure was absolutely contagious and I think I’ve managed to capture the feeling in this print which has to date gotten the most attention of any of my Palenque prints. I think it’s the magical combination of youthful exuberance and amazing Mayan ruins rolled into one frame that does it.

Have you sweated at Palenque, too? Or perhaps this print interests you because of the sense of adventure or the lovely ancient Mayan architecture? I hope you might take a moment to share what attracted you to this particular image?

Note: The ruins of Palenque in Chiapas are a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site.

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
