Right now I am in Arequipa and I am continuing a search for the person behind some really cool shirt designs with the label 'Babayaga - Arequipa'. All of my search tactics have failed. The website listed on the label,
http://no.jodas.pe/, is a joke, I assume, as it doesn't exist and translates to something to something like http://areyouf.ingkidding.com/.
I've tried Google, but only find info about the witch-like character from Slavic folklore who eats children. I tried searching for people mentioning Babayaga on Twitter; no luck. My best bets in finding Babayaga are through the 2 stores where I found
his her shirts in Lima,
Pulga (Miraflores), and
Neomutatis (Barranco). Until I hear back from them, I'll continue wandering around Arequipa with my eyes peeled for Babayaga designs and asking people if they know anything about
him her, "Do you know anything about this
guy girl from Arequipa who makes really cool black and white t-shirt designs with day-of-the-dead-like images? I think
he's she's in a band, too." Yeah, that's about all I've got to go on.
UPDATE! 7/25/2010: Eureka! Tania Brun, alias Babayaga talks about some of her work in a post here:

http://no.jodas.pe/ is no joke, it's just a website that hasn't been developed yet.
