About Me
- slohobo
- I am second generation Californian with Apache and Yaqui ancestors. Yes I was born in them there hills of Los Angeles. The Yaqui were hard workers and while working on the railroads in the southwest traveled and sometimes lived on the trains with their families. Refugio Savala the Yaqui Poet lived this lifestyle and called himself a "Hobo" with humor. My Greatgrandfather and many of his family worked on the railroad also which afforded them many opportunities. This Blog is in honor of my Great Grandfather Reyes Torres.
There is a very Talented Yaqui Artist here in Phoenix named Ben Molina, also known as The Creative Native. I just purchased an AMAZING Dia de los Muertos Skull Created by him, I Love it and will be doing a Post on it in a couple of days on my Blog "Bohemian Valhalla". Along with eclectic pieces such as the one I purchased, Ben Creates Beautiful Traditional & Ceremonial Tribal Art too and has had his Work displayed in many Museums... I'm delighted to now own one of his Beautiful Creations.
