Chicas del Rock web project shows off work of emerging Colombian Artist Maria Jose Correa Gonzalez

Check out http://www.chicasdelrock.blogspot.com

It links to emerging Colombian artist Maria Jose Correa Gonzalez's black and white and color takes on influential women of rock n roll during the past few decades.

The site is en espanol (it's good for you to learn some Spanish...and of course you can figure out the art without the intros in Spanish.

Speaking of the art, I supposed a few portraits are R-rated (if you're a total prude), but heck, rock isn't exactly G-rated either, is it?

While traveling through Colombia, I had the privilege of meeting Maria at L'Etoile (the most atmospheric cafe in a land of intriguing cafes and shops in La Candelaria, Bogota's old city).

She is a young bohemian and art school grad. inspired by an amazing range of music (many of her favorite artists were dead before she was born) spanning from old Bluesmen to Jazzmen to new Wave, 80s, etc.

My fellow native Ohioans, Chrissie Hynde and Kim Deal, show up in chicas del rock. Check out the stuff and get in on the ground floor.

Don't you wish you'd have been able to buy a Joan Miro or a Wifredo Lam back before they became legends? Well, check out

Strike up a friendship with Maria Jose Correa Gonzalez and acquire some artwork before she's as famous (and pricey) as Botero.
