This resin statue depicts Jesús Malverde, the Mexican folk figure often called both the narco-saint and the angel of the poor. He sits solemnly in a carved chair, wearing his classic white shirt and red tie, with marijuana leaf motifs on his shoulders. The piles of cash, gold coins, and money bag emphasize his modern association with protection, luck, and the world of illicit trade. At his feet, are marijuana leaves . Though never formally canonized, Malverde endures as a powerful cultural icon for those seeking help, justice, and survival when society offers them none.

The 39-star flag is another unofficial version of the U.S. flag that was produced in anticipation of statehood changes, but it was never officially adopted. In 1889, it was widely expected that only one Dakota Territory would be admitted as a single state, which would bring the total number of states from 38 to 39. Flag manufacturers, eager to prepare for the change, began producing 39-star flags in advance. However, instead of a single Dakota state, both North Dakota and South Dakota were admitted separately on November 2, 1889, along with Montana and Washington shortly after—bringing the total to 42 states. Since stars are only added to the flag on the following July 4th, and more states joined in the meantime, the official flag skipped directly to 43 stars on July 4, 1890. The 39-star flag was therefore never official and is now a rare and historically significant collector’s item.

The United States briefly had a 42-star flag in 1890, but it was never officially adopted. Between November 2 and November 11, 1889, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Washington were admitted as states, bringing the total to 42. According to an 1818 law, new stars are added to the flag on the July 4th following a state’s admission, so manufacturers began producing 42-star flags in anticipation of the change. However, Idaho was admitted as the 43rd state on July 3, 1890—just one day before the new flag was to take effect—causing the official flag to jump directly to 43 stars on July 4, 1890. As a result, the 42-star flag was never officially used, though many were made and are now rare collectibles

Vintage 1994 Spin Doctors Tour T shirt! This band had great musicianship. I discovered this group while trying to fill the void of good pop music after Kurt Cobain left the scene. More shirts to come!

Caution! This isn’t an easy road.
At first, a city feels like a blur of movement—just people passing by, anonymous and fleeting. But when you slow down and pay attention, patterns emerge. Some people are going places, while others are stuck in place.

You start recognizing faces, routines, the ones who linger. The ones who have nowhere else to be. And once you notice, you can’t unsee it. That’s when the city stops being just a backdrop and starts telling stories—some of them harsh, some of them heartbreaking.
