MAXDNA
A long time ago in a little town in the southwest called Phoenix there was an artist named Max.

Being a little odd as most artists can be all his friends and family were sure the aliens had been at him. Searching for others like himself Max moved to the hustle and bustle of the big city Santa Fe, New Mexico. There in a small gallery on Canyon Road Max came up with the great idea to create a line of toy dinosaurs.

While the dinosaurs didn't last too long the idea did. And the company Max DNA (Dinosaurs "N" Aliens) was born.

KENNY CHAVEZ
"I wanted to make something with my hands, to use raw materials that cost close to nothing, and . . . I was bored at my job. So, seven years ago I got into the habit of going out to the land (anywhere) and salvaging rusted bottlecaps, old cans, bottles, photos, bailing wire, and weathered barnwood." These are what I now call my "Retablos." Traditionally, a retablo is a wall hanging that is for a special place in your home for devotional or non-devotional inspiration.
