Jim Marquez, The Writer
SEPTEMBER 2008! Fall's coming around the corner! My favorite season: Halloween. My birthday. Turkey-day. Football. Oak Tree Racing at Santa Anita. Cold nights. Ah, you can't beat it. I continue to write for "Citizen LA" & "Artillery", doing book readings, and we have many BIG shows lined up in the next few months. Check out my MYSPACE address below for deails! Put the latest editions of my books on your reading list....I'm currently a columnist for "Citizen LA" here in L.A. covering the local art scene in Downtown Los Angeles & have had pieces published in "Flux", "Tu Ciudad", "Modern Drunkard Mag", "Hispanic" (2X), "Soma", "Gallery", "Fear", "Gadfly","RoughGuide", "LA Alternative", "LA Weekly", "Eastern Group Publications", "Los Angeles Times"....
I also love Europe. Paris is the best. Backpacked through Euro 8 times in the past 9 years, and I'm a big damn fan of football (soccer). Been to the World Cup in The States '94, Paris '98, Korea/Japan '02, and Germany '06...SOUTH AFRICA in 2010 as well.
I'm a Scorpio too, so when you start to wonder what the hell is wrong with this man, you'll know!.......(PHOTO: Me, cranking it out at "Regent Gallery" in Downtown Los Angeles 2008.
