Meso-American Gods series in Crayon by Rogelio Lara

Rogelio Lara:

I picked up crayon from substitute teaching elementary. I drew them as rewards for the kids and started to really like what I drew. I started posting them on Facebook to get this girl's attention I got such a positive reaction from people that I kept on going. This particular series - Mythological Dreams - comes from my interest in Mythology - I played Dungeons and Dragons as a kid, and when my Philosophy professor introduced me to Joseph Campbell in community college I realized the importance and insight of the messages behind the mythology which only made me love it more.

From her blog:

I've been wanting to make a set of "Alphabet" crayons for a long time.  I've always been drawn to illustrated alphabets.  Maybe it's the Fontophile in me, but I find an extreme satisfaction in seeing a well made set of ABC's.   I will have 26 sets of carved crayons as well as new carved pencils in an upcoming art show at Packer Schopf Gallery in Chicago.  I will also be in Chicago for an artist talk, please come by and say hi! ​
