HUICHO
Hello! Im Luis Martinez prefer to go by the artist name (Huicho). Currently a senior at NJCU majoring in BFA painting and drawing. As for my career im a tattoo artist who’s been in the industry for almost 4 years now! Here are some of my work!
In addition I do love to dive into different art forms and mediums such as sculpting, wood burning, ceramics, fashion design, owning a clothing brand, graffiti, animation, illustrating comics, creating stickers, water color/ gouache, arts and crafts, etc.. not just limiting myself with tattooing. Besides painting and drawing I’m currently getting into a little more digital art media. Such as photography, videography and digital illustrations! I will provide some more work down below.

I wouldn’t consider myself much of an activist and will admit to being a little ignorant when it comes to politics and some social pressing issues. However I’m definitely excited to learn about other activists in this course and will attempt to start educating myself regarding politics and keeping up with the news around me.
UNDERSTANDING PATRIARCHY by Bell Hooks
QUOTE 1: “Describing the most damaging of these rules, Bradshaw lists "blind obedience--the foundation upon which patriarchy stands; the repression of all emotions except fear; the destruction of individual willpower; and the repression of thinking whenever it departs from the authority figure's way of thinking."
RESPONSE 1: Felt like this quote really captures what Hook was mentioning in the start of this reading. As she gives her personal first experience with patriarchy starting with how her parents try teaching her and her brother different ways of thinking based of gender. The way of thinking that men are “superior” was imbedded at such a young age that when most of the youth grows up it becomes their norm. Not questioning it especially at such a young age following an authority figure like their parents it leaves an endless cycle until someone decides to stop it.
QUOTE 2 : We need to highlight the role women play in perpetuating and sustaining patriarchal culture so that we will recognize patriarchy as a system women and men support equally, even if men receive more rewards from that system. Dismantling and changing patriarchal culture is work that men and women must do together.
RESPONSE 2: I feel like this is a strong statement from Hooks for the simple fact that she acknowledges that women unfortunately do have a small part in keeping the patriarchal ideology a live. Speaking by her own experience of having her mother side with Hooks father after beating her for trying to play with marvels which was considered a “boys” game.
What Memes owe to art history
QUOTE 1: “In the post-internet world, nothing escapes the meme’s comic gaze, and the form is being recognized as an artistic medium for this interconnected online moment.”
RESPONSE 1: times have change and with the use of internet infecting the youth today, memes have definitely became a great source to grab the people’s attention. As they spend so much time on the internet it would be hard to avoid the memes that are trending.
QUOTE 2 : “Through humor, memes incite a collective reaction to everyday life as well as reveling in it, in a format no less playful than it is political, decoding the murky structural screw-ups, paradoxes, and hypocrisies of our current political climate.”
RESPONSE 2: Adding humor and connections that many can relate to is a great way to get other’s attention to hear you out! Helping spread the news and help educate people on what’s going around them.
Memes are our generation’s protest art
QUOTE 1: “Simple to make and simpler to distribute, they can communicate a stance or message at a glance and express the same feelings experts say are behind conventional protest art.”
RESPONSE 1: with the wide spread of the internet it definitely became easier sharing just a simple photo. Not only that with the advanced technology today having it have become easier to montage and edit a photo with the simple use of our phones. To then upload it on the internet and social media. To then within a few seconds being able to share a meme with several people within just a few seconds have definitely made the spread of the modern day protest art much easier
QUOTE 2: “They’re definitely sites of resistance against perceptions of abuse of power. They spread so quickly and evolve and transform, and it’s hard to shut them down in the way other forms of communicative protest can be silenced.”
RESPONSE 2: this is actually a strong point, with how easy it is to spread just a simple photo is overwhelming to think about trying to prevent said photo to be spread any further. With in just one minute of a photo being active it could reach hundred rather then for example and actually protest that could be shut down once law enforcement get involved
