  • Life sized statues of skeltons doing day to day chores, eating and dancing are a huge part of Mexico’s popular art. They are derived from a heady mixture of pre-hispanic tradition, the annual Day of the Dead celebrations and a very weird sense of humour. If you are in town, the ‘Museo de Arte Popular’, where this beauty resides, is definitely worth a look. If I remember correctly it’s on 5 de Mayo, between metro Allende and Metro Bellas Artes.

  • day of the dead scull decorated with flowers -drawn in henna /mendi / *i have the same design available in white for darker t-shirts *

  • Here is a digital version of two drawings. I merged the images together in photoshop and made a few adjustments to make two separate oil pastel drawings one digital image. / Two calaveras, or skeletons, flirt with each other. The female bears resemblance to Frida Kahlo and the male is a mariachi. / The piece has the feel and spirit of El dia de los muertos, very exciting, emotional!

  • This is a calavera or skeleton version of Frida Kahlo with her mouth open as if she’s laughing at the viewer in the after life. / This is an original oil pastel and acrylic mixed media drawing on water color paper. There are a lot of hatch marks that were made by taking an x acto knife to the drawing. / This is part of an on going series of day of the dead art inspired art.

  • I draw how I feel. I’m Catholic and I’ve felt this way many times, that’s not to say other faiths can’t feel this it’s just that I feel as a Catholic it’s in my DNA. / Consider this the official unveiling of “Craneo Skullsworth” (that’s the skull’s name). / I’ll be using him in future designs.

  • Recently, I’ve had to re-join the world of the hourly wagers. No disrespect mind you, but it’s hard to have built up such a portfolio and developed such a standing in the world of graphic design that now I have to be shot back down without any of my hard work meaning anything where I’m currently employed. / I’m so tired of whining about the economy that I’ve found new ways of subtle hints. This piece being one of them. / I’ll be using this character from now on for quite a few of my ideas. I recently submitted work for Viva La Skull and I created this guy. His name at the immediate time was, Craneo Skullsworth. The last name was to distinguish him from any existing usage of the word craneo. But after much thought (whilst walking my dogs), I came to the conclusion that I could just spell it, CRANIO and leave it at that. So here’s Cranio (or me, rather), dreading his current employment situation.

  • The logo design to my newest character, Cranio. Which you’ll see a lot more of when new ideas come up. I’ve already included him in previous designs so his birth is actually a few days old but this is the unveiling of the logo version which hopefully will be a hit with buyers (especially buyers who love skulls).

  • Differences in size and color, dark and light: full sun on the red bark of a Giant Sequoia next to yellow-green foliage of a “normal” sized hardwood tree and evergreens in the background was too noticeable to pass!

  • The mark of a thousands-year old Giant Sequoia: when the top is unable to bear its own weight and breaks off, a “crown” at the new, lower and wider top spreads out.

  • It really doesn’t get better than this!!
