 A
bartender by training and a carpenter, painter and photographer from necessity,
Guillermo Nericcio García also dabbles in graphic design--most notorious
perhaps for his scandalous censored Daumier-inspired political lampoons
of his high school vice principal Mr. Shoup in the late 1970s at St.
Augustine High School in Laredo, Texas.
His
digital canvas, 'Mexicanesque
Maus,' appeared on the cover of Camera
Obscura: Feminism, Culture and Media Studies n.37; additionally,
he completed the cover and contents design for Poetry
International Issue III. Other designs include the poster and brochure
for the Y2K
California Studies Association Conference and the media design for
UCSB's
Religious Studies Y2K Colloquia.
 Born
in Laredo, Texas (the rumored issue of Remedios Varo and Ché Guevara)
and educated in Prague, Nuevo Laredo, Tlön and Barcelona, Nericcio
presently lives in Partanna, Sicily where he makes books by hand, designs
web pages, and serves as an apprentice vintner for a local winery.
His latest digital work, "The Existential Guillotine" appears as an
image/postscript in William Nericcio's "When Electrolysis Proxies for the
Existential: A Somewhat Sordid Meditation on What Might Occur if Frantz
Fanon, Rosario Castellanos, Jacques Derrida, Gayatri Spivak & Sandra
Cisneros Asked Rita Hayworth Her Name," in Violence
and the Body ed.  Arturo
Aadama (Bloomingdale: University of Indiana Press, 2002).
2005
has seen Nericcio García return to the United States. He was
spotted on Sunday, August 7, 2005 leading an Arts education session on
Word and Image with his peculiar if affable sidekick, Leon Lanzbom, for
the Museum of Contemporary
Art, San Diego.
 Lastly,
there has been some internet conjecture on the reality
of Guillermo Nericcio García--in particular, whispers that he and
"William Anthony Nericcio,"
a somewhat eclectic Chicano/Tejano literature
professor at SDSU, are the same person. Let the check
opposite, reproduced here via photographic facsimile, testify on
Guillermo's behalf.
