The Churro Debt
One night Blue stole my churros. I told him he'd have to work it off.
This is him working it off.
What it is
100 numbered artworks of Blue. Each one is printed, numbered by hand, and signed by Blue himself — a real paw print, in ink, on every certificate. Not a logo of a paw. His.
Each piece carries stay credit. You're not donating and you're not speculating — you're pre-buying nights, at a discount, in a place that's being built with the money.
The debt is his. So every certificate had to come off his paw, one at a time. When the hundredth one is sold, the churros are paid for and the sanctuary has a viewing deck.
The collection
Every piece is Blue as somebody — painted straight, churro included. Tap any painting to see it big. Your number is claimed on WhatsApp; first come, first pick.
What you get
- A numbered print, signed with Blue's paw
- $750 of stay credit at the sanctuary when it opens
- …or $500 of credit at Fuego Villa or Fuego Loft, starting now
- Your name on the wall at Santuario Fuego
- First pick of the hundred — the low numbers
- $2,250 of sanctuary credit, or $1,500 at the villa now
- A week at the sanctuary in its first season
- Your name on a bungalow, not just the wall
The honest small print
- Credit is good for 5 years from the day you buy.
- Up to 2 nights a year per member, so a hundred of us don't all turn up in March.
- Not valid Semana Santa, Christmas or New Year.
- Credit is transferable — give it to someone. It isn't refundable for cash.
- The sanctuary isn't built yet. That's the point of this. Your credit works at Fuego Villa and Fuego Loft from the day you buy, so you're never holding a promise that depends on a building existing.
- 100 pieces. There will never be a 101st.
Where the money goes
A viewing deck between three volcanoes, on the sanctuary land in Alotenango — somewhere a family can see Fuego erupt at dusk without climbing for six hours. Then the first bungalow. Then the dogs get a permanent home instead of a temporary one.
