The Wrath66 Logo AKA the “Mexicon”Wrath66.com is the home of all things Wrath66, the nom d’art and alter ego – because one ego wasn’t enough – of Chris Aguirre. (UPDATE: Chris seems to be getting a handle on his ego[s] and it turns out he may just need the one. Which, it should be noted, does not preclude him from continuing to have a raging superiority complex should that prove to be harder to shake than a superfluous ego.)

Chris, an ex-Creative Director (or at least a ” CD on sabbatical”) turned aspiring artist, posts his artwork here and writes about the process, the “product” and the stuff that inspires him.

(UPDATE: As of mid-February 2010, Chris, after a seven month hiatus, has returned and will probably start posting almost exclusively about stuff that has to do with the imminent and eminent “Baby Grrl!” Aguirre.)

Chris also still does the odd bit of brand development and design under the Brand Affairs Dept. (AKA The B.A.D.) moniker. (Don’t hold your breath waiting for him to finish the site though.)

Lope de Aguirre, the “Wrath of God” » Click image for larger view.“Wrath66”, the name, was the user ID I settled on at an early point in registering for the plethora of digital services and accounts one tends to join when one has a computer, an Xbox, or an iPhone and knows what to do with it. “Wrath”, was inspired by an ancestor of mine (at least, I like to think he was) and subject of Werner Herzog’s haunting masterpiece, Aguirre, the Wrath of God, the foolhardy, half-crazed Spanish conquistador, Lope de Aguirre. (Take a look at that picture and tell me that’s not my great-great-great-great-great… something.) If you’re the superstitious type, the type to believe in reincarnation and numerology, you might consider that he was killed four hundred and five years – to the day – before I was born. The “66” is my birthyear.
