A year ago today, Luis Jimenez‘ 32 foot fibreglas mustang sculpture was installed at the Denver International Airport. It had killed him the year before at his studio, an old apple cannery in Hondo Valley, which is just up the road from here. We used to see him at some of the Art Museum events here in Roswell. I ran into him at ABQ once on my way to California to paint a ride. We talked for a minute or two, I gave him a couple of my comics. He was a nice guy. That’s a scary horse. Biggest thing he ever did. And it killed him!
