Jorge de Rojas: A Wonderful Life of Halloween
Meet paper mâché artist, Jorge de Rojas of HohoHalloween. Halloween has captivated Jorge since childhood and was a key influence in helping him adapt to his new country. His career journey has taken him from make-up and costuming, through a detour in nursing, and then back to art due to a fateful life event. The common thread in Jorge’s diverse career is the desire to make people smile.   His world includes everything from devilish ornaments to mischievous goblins. His inspirations include 1930s cartoons and his vintage Halloween collection, especially the die cuts. Collectors cannot get enough of his one-of-a-kind creations and reproductions by ESC and Company help expand his reach.   This episode is filled with Jorge’s light hearted storytelling, his art show adventures, and his vision for a Halloween world.   “Halloween is where dreams of childhood and past memories come to life. It culminates with the smile I see on people's faces when they connect with my work. That's the happiest and the most satisfied that I feel” - Jorge de Rojas  Mentions  All Hallow’s Art Fest (Petaluma, CA):https://www.halloweenfolkartsociety.com/about-the-show-1 Bewitching Peddlers of Halloween: http://www.bewitchingpeddlersofhalloween.com ESC and Company reproductions of Jorge’s work: https://escandcompany.com/collections/jorge-de-rojas Old Ghosts Odditorium (was in FL, now online): https://www.oldghostsfl.com Over the Garden Wall, Episode Two: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/over_the_garden_wall_2014_2/s01/e02 Wicked Bread Company (Plantation, FL): https://www.wickedbread.com  Visit Jorge on social media  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hohohalloweenbyjorgederojas Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HohohalloweenbyJorgedeRojas
