About the cover:
The cover this month, from Jesus Torralba (@heysus94), depicts the Aztec goddess Metztli with the word MEDICINA as a dominant part of the art piece. It got me thinking about the idea that everything is medicine, for good or for ill. Everything we take in changes us.
"Metztli (also spelled Meztli) is the divine personification of the moon, the night, and agriculture." —Jesus Torralba
Jesus Torralba is a muralist and tattoo artist in Washington State. Follow him on

You can see the influences from the way Metztli is depicted in the Codex Borgia (pictured below). But Jesus Torralba really takes the theme in a new direction with his cover this month.
Jesus Torralba will have a solo show at Cafe Con Arte October through November.
