    About this ebook

    An Artist of Modicum Success, A Retrospective is a collection of work by Armando Heredia, who once had an exhibit slated for 30 days that was so overwhelming, it come down in 48 hours, and considered it a smashing success.

    A wide ranging collection of work that encompasses traditional and non-traditional media, drawing, painting, sculpture and reclamation art.

    Armando is also an Art Activist, the founder of Art Against Oppression, an art collective devoted to "Not just making good art, but art that does good."

    This collective also includes works by Awareness 2012 collaborators Christian Burkett, Kimberly Lorrene (Kavanagh), and Jonathan Schellhardt.

    Full color images, links to online content, unfinished concepts, and insight into the inspiration of some of his most exciting work.

    Armando Heredia may be one of the most important artists you've never heard of.

      A Retrospective of Work

      by Armando Heredia

      Dedication

      The home studio. c. 2011

      We lived above a dance studio in Collinsville, Illinois from 2011-2013. This is a staged corner of my studio area. Much of my work at the time was with reclaimed Styrofoam, so I spent most of my time outside.

      This retrospective is for Tinakay, and for my three sons, Jonathan, Benjamin and Nathaniel, who've shared their space with my work for their whole lives, like a fourth brother.
