The artist Octavio Ocampo was born in Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico. He studied art from early childhood. In high school, Ocampo painted murals for the Preparatory School and the City Hall of Celaya.
Ruth Rivera, daughter of artist and muralist Diego Rivera, and Maria Luisa Mendoza encouraged him to attend the School of Painting and Sculpture of the National Fine Art Institute. Later in art school, he constructed papier mache figures for floats, altars, and ornaments used in carnival parades and festivals.
Ocampo's talents are not limited to painting and sculpture; they also extend to acting and dancing. At the Art Institute of San Francisco, he studied all of these disciplines then pursued both a film and theater career. But in 1976 he began to devote himself solely to painting and sculpture. Octavio Ocampo is one of Mexico's most prolific artists.
He now works primarily in the metamorphic style -- using a technique of superimposing and juxtaposing realistic and figurative details within the images he creates. Metamorphic Style Ocampo is known for several famous works in his sometimes wryly sardonic, sometimes evocative paintings.
Detailed images are intricately woven together to create larger images. The optical illusions fade back and pop forward as one studies the pieces, notices the details, and finally recognizes the large scale intention. This is what he terms "metamorphic."
The Visions Fine Art Gallery in Sedona, Arizona, represents Octavio Ocampo in the US.
Several collections in Mexico contain his work, and individual works of his have been commissioned for Pres. Jimmy Carter (as a gift from Pres. José López Portillo of Mexico), Jane Fonda, Cher (for the front and back covers of her "Heart of Stone" album), and César Chávez.

SkidRowFilms Police attack Occupy Movement for chalking
Art Walk chalk protests, using the concrete jungle that is downtown Los Angeles, are being given a chance to usse a wall with LAPD provided chalk. This is in marked contrast to last month's Art Walk that was met with arrests and beatings. What is the crime? Chalk is messy and requires precious water to rinse off, so naturally Special Weapons And Tactical (SWAT) forces have to be deployed to tamp it down. Otherwise, who knows, Occupy activists might get carried away and start playing unauthorized games of hopscotch. Public order and what Shephard Fairy calls "obedience" must be maintained at all costs even if civil liberties are exchanged for the veneer of "security."
Mexican Institute of Sound's Mexico illustrates that its problems are rooted in the false US "war on drugs," a hypocritical campaign aimed at arresting and imprisoning racial minorities while simultaneously militarizing civilian police agencies and destroying neighboring Mexico from the inside out by increasing demand while pretending to exhaust all avenues to reduce it.

ACAMBARO, Mexico - In 1944 a German man, Waldemar Julsrud, was hiking when he found an ancient figure. Hundreds more figurines were found by laborer Odilon Tinajero, who was sent out to search the area -- eventually 30,000 pieces in all.
Aside from similarities to known Mesoamerican styles, such as that of the Chupicuaro Indians, there were figurines that could not be placed in any culture or time:
Mesozoic-era pterodactyls and other dinosaurs (before particular species, such as Brontosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex, were publicly displayed in museums and widely known), chimeras, an alien Grey (at Minute 0:42), Sumerians, ancient Egyptians, bearded Caucasians, seahorses, turtles, anteaters, llamas, camels, complex architectural structures, strange social scenes such as a man playing with a giant monkey, women flirting with reptiles [nagas making hybrids], and animals with six arms.
Moreover, many figures had Egyptian, east Indian, or African features. Mesozoic-era creatures were interacting with humans (just as archeologist Michael Cremo asserts). There were giants. Bipedal apes or a six-fingered creature that appears to be a Bigfoot are also depicted. Predictably, The Smithsonian squelched the entire find. More
Creationism?
Because scientists dissemble, make mistakes, and are often wrong does not mean turning to "infallible" faith is any kind of solution. The Smithsonian and its scientists certainly are not candid about all their finds. The best things are hidden.
What does not fit in with current theory is hidden away and denied -- such as skeletal giants. This does not make the world 6,000 years old or Biblical accounts any more accurate than a biased historical text (in parts). Certainly the world's sacred texts, upon which the Bible is based (Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, etc.), have something important to say that biased "scientists" scoff at or are financially induced to dismiss and discredit.
Better sources than the Christian Bible exist for understanding the world as it actually is -- not as we feel comfortable in imagining it. The Vedas are a priceless source of information. Sumerian tablets, indigenous aboriginal and Indian lore, and other archeological finds are precious. Evolutionary is certainly mistaken, in spite of being empirical and dependable in certain respects; creationism is preposterous in some respects and yet correct in other, as much as it pains intelligent and educated modern people to imagine it.
The professional skeptics are wrong. The professional clergy are misleading. Take from both, leave the rest, keep an open mind, and remember we are responsible for our education, knowledge, and wisdom not others. If these things utterly depended on others, we would be doomed worse than the Kalamas in the Kalama Sutra.
Here are two impossible-but-true things for science buffs and religious fundamentalist to scoff at. "Modern" Homo sapien sapiens existed millions of years ago, and somewhere within this planet dinosaur forms exist now. Looking into Michael Cremo and Admiral Richard Byrd's work is a start.
Humans and dinosaurs co-existed. Begins at Minute 0:42
Wisdom Quarterly, Independence Day Special (Take that, United Kingdom!)
While UFOs were being summoned by Robert Bingham over MacArthur Park in the Miracle Mile district of Los Angeles, the rest of the country was doing its best to send streaming rockets to repel them with bedazzling fire shows. Here are just a few fantastical fireworks' shows by do-it-yourselfers who reject the words "safe and sane" or "leave it to the professionals." In the biggest blunder, farther south, next to the Mexican border, there was a major malfunction. It is being called the "Big Bay Boom" that went bust. San Diego planned on a spectacular show, but a "computer glitch" resulted in a spectacle as all the fireworks went off at once creating a mushroom cloud of American excess. It sort of looked like Fukushima.
In 1944 an accidental discovery of an even more controversial nature was made by Waldemar Julsrud at Acambaro, Mexico.
Acambaro is in the state of Guanajuato, 175 miles northwest of Mexico City. The strange archaeological site there yielded over 33,500 objects of ceramic, stone, including jade, and knives made of obsidian (which is sharper than steel and still used today in heart surgery).
Jalsrud, a prominent local German merchant, also found statues ranging from less than an inch to six feet in length depicting great reptiles [nagas], some of them in active association with humans -- generally eating them. In some bizarre statuettes an erotic association was indicated. To observers many of these creatures resembled dinosaurs.
Jalsrud crammed this collection into 12 rooms of his expanded house. Startling representations of Africans, Asians, and bearded Caucasians were included as were motifs of Egyptians, Sumerians, and other ancient non-hemispheric civilizations.
There were also portrayals of Bigfoot and aquatic monster-like creatures, weird human-animal mixtures (chimeras), and a host of other inexplicable creations.
Teeth from an extinct Ice Age horse, the skeleton of a mammoth, and a number of [giant] human skulls were found at the same site as the ceramic artifacts.*
Acambaro, Mexico: ancient evidence of dinosaurs and humans co-existing
N. America: Coronado's Giant Discoveries Stevequayle.comAn expedition led by Coronado searched for the fabulously rich "Seven Cities of Cibola." Near Mexico's present-day border with California and Arizona, they ran into several tribes of Indian giants. Starting from Mexico City with some 300 Spaniards and 800 native Indians, the Coronado expedition marched west to the Pacific Ocean.
Giants persist in human myths and legends as does a fascination with dinosaurs (dragons)
Then turning northward, they went up the coast through regions that later became known as Sinaloa and Sonora. While this march was underway, Hemando de Alarcon set sail... So when the army reached the province of Senora, a force under Don Rodrigo Maldonado set out to find the harbor and scan the horizon for Alarcon's ships.

An excavation of the site at the foot of El Toro Mountain on the outskirts of Acambaro yielded over 33,500 ceramic, stone, and jade artifacts.
Controversy erupted over the Acambaro find. The Smithsonian [part of a conspiracy of silence that stores away giant statues from public view] dismissed the entire collection as an elaborate hoax. Other scientists charged that the Smithsonian Institute and other archaeological authorities conducted a campaign of disinformation against the discoveries.
It was discovered that the Smithsonian's case files for Julsrud and the Acambaro artifacts were missing. Charles Hapgood, a professor of history and anthropology at the University of New Hampshire, made two expeditions to the site and became convinced the site was authentic. He witnessed some of the figures being excavated.
The authenticity of Julsrud find was challenged because the huge collection included dinosaurs.
Many archeologists believe dinosaurs have been extinct for the past 65 million years and human knowledge of them has been limited to the past 200 years. If this is true, humans could not possibly have seen and modeled them 2,500 years ago. [Dinosaurs may still exist today, as sited by US Nay Rear-Admiral Byrd and described in the Hollow Earth Theory.]
The finds in this small Mexican town are among the most astounding ever. Although the first figurines were found in 1945, many of the figurines were prophetic in nature in that:
They displayed dinosaurs that were not yet found and identified by paleontologists but are now known to have existed.
They displayed features such as dermal spines, not known to be found on such dinosaurs at that time but now (as of 1992) understood to be a feature of many dinosaurs formerly pictured as smooth-backed.
Dating methods within 4,000 years or so have been proven to be worthwhile for demonstrating an age range for an object. The Acambaro figurines consistently test as being 1,500-4,500 years old when tested by impartial testing agents, although they often withdraw their findings when they realize the implications of the results.
The Radiocarbon 14 method of dating was still in its infancy, but Hapgood acquired specimens for C14 testing. Gardner and Andrew Young (inventor of the Bell Helicopter) financed the testing. Samples were submitted to the Laboratory of Isotopes Inc. in New Jersey. The results were as follows: Sample No. 1 (I-3842) 3590 + - 100 (C.1640 BC) Sample No. 2 (I-4015) 6480 + - 170 (C. 4530 BC) Sample No. 3 (I-4031)3060 + - 120 (C. 1110 BC). The radiocarbon dates of up to 4,500 B.C. for Carbon on the ceramics would make the collection the oldest in the Western Hemisphere.
Even skeptics admit that the Acambaro collection is a powerful case for coexistence of dinosaur and humans.
But part of the story of Acambaro is the laboratory results that consistently reveal ages of more than 2,000 years for these figurines -- until the technicians realize the implications of their findings. They then fall over themselves trying to reverse themselves.
In the case of Acambaro, however, no reasonable macroevolutionist has come up with an reasonable rebuttal or explanation as to how ancient peoples could have molded dinosaur statues with more accuracy than the scientists of the time they were discovered.
No reasonable explanation has been given by macroevolutionists for the hundreds of drawings, carvings, and figurines of dinosaurs done by people long before paleontologists began finding dinosaur fossils and providing depictions of what their appearance might have been.
No good explanation has been given for the multitudes of stories about dinosaurs, not just as stories but as historical narratives in records kept by government and other officials. The record of human history, both written and described graphically in the form of paintings, drawings, carvings, and figurines is that of human coexistence with dinosaurs for hundreds of years.
Mummified giant -- a 9-foot, red-haired female mummy from China
About 20 years ago in northern China, a university's archaeological dig stumbled upon the burial grounds of 22 strange, gigantic men. Each giant had once stood nearly 12-feet tall. And each was garbed in strange leather armor. Around their dessicated skulls hung long strands of red hair.
