The Date Farmers

I’ve always been a big fan of art collaboratives. As such, Micah Hahn recently introduced me to the work of The Date Farmers.

From their site:  “Artwork by The Date Farmers echoes Mexican-American heritage rooted in California pop culture. Their paintings, collages and three-dimensional sculptures contain elements influenced by graffiti, Mexican street murals, traditional revolutionary posters, sign painting, prison art and tattoos. Living in the peaceful seclusion of the desert, the artists often travel across the border, into Mexicali and Oaxaca to scavenge for materials.

A drawing of theirs that I dig:
