I met a fellow RedBubbler, Adam Mattel yesterday and we did a photo shoot together. It was a very enjoyable morning and a pleasure to meet a member that lives nearby. This is one the images captured along the Susquehanna river at Harrisburg, PA. This site was settled due to the founder Harris operating a ferry across the river. This has been my most popular image to date. It has been viewed over 900 times and is a favorite for 46 members of RB.
An ancient monument of Athens, Columns of the Olympian Zeus are taller than the Acropolis, yet not so known due to the fact that most of them are missing. On the background you can see the Acropolis.

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!
Hand drawn and rendered… Saint Death (also known as La Santísima Muerte, and Doña Sebastiana), is a religious figure who receives petitions for love, luck, and protection. Although the Catholic Church has attacked the worship of Saint Death as a pagan tradition, many people insist on praying to this figure for miracles. Those who pray to this figure are often seeking the recovery of health, stolen items, or kidnapped family members. Saint Death is often depicted as a female figure, dressed as a grim reaper with a scythe and scales; also she can be dressed in a long white satin gown and a golden crown. In this form, many devotees view her as a variation of the Virgin Mary. / Some believe the cult of Saint Death originated from ancient witchcraft; however, Saint Death may have his/her roots in pre-Christian beliefs of the Aztec Native Americans who worshiped a similar figure by the name of Mictlantecuhtli, the god of death, along with his wife, Mictecacihuatl. The Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos in Spanish) is a holiday celebrated mainly in Mexico and by people of Mexican heritage. Family and friends gather to pray for and remember friends and relatives who have died. Many people believe that during the Day of the Dead, it is easier for the souls of the departed to visit the living. During the period most people visit the cemeteries where their loved ones are buried and decorate their graves with ofrendas, or offerings, often including orange marigolds called “cempasúchitl” (now usually called “Flor de Muerto” (“Flower of the Dead”)). These flowers are thought to attract souls of the dead to the offerings. A common symbol of the holiday is the skull (colloquially called calavera), which celebrants represent in masks, and foods such as sugar skulls, which are inscribed with the name of the recipient on the forehead. Sugar skulls are gifts that can be given to both the living and the dead. Some people believe that possessing “dia de los muertos” items can bring good luck. Many people get tattoos or have dolls of the dead to carry with them. The artist recommends a lighter colour tee for maximum detail. A darker tee will hide the black line work.
Shot of a woman dressed as la Catrina at a Dia de los Muertos procession. Dia de los muertos (Day of the Dead) in Mexico represents a mixture of Christian devotion and Pre-Hispanic traditions and beliefs. As a result of this mixture, the celebration comes to life as an unique Mexican tradition and celebration including an altar and offerings dedicated to those deceased. The altar includes four main elements of nature – earth, wind, water, and fire. The celebration occurs on the 1st and 2nd of November, in connection with the Catholic holy days of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. Thanks for looking : ) Shot w/ a Canon 20D.

(5×7 Mixed Media) In the movie Frieda,there was a scene were they celebrated that holiday(which I hope I spelled correctly) It Means Day Of The Dead,which I believe mostly celebrated in Mexico right after Halloween( which inspired this collage.) Also, So much of Kahlo’s work celebrated her determination to Live but she realized that she faced Death every day as well.. /
I really love to draw patterned skulls, inspired by Día de Los Muertos sugar skulls.
This illustration was inspired by my husband and his new hat! / He also sports a fine moustache. / Drawn with red and black felt pen on paper.
This quiff -sporting rock n’ roll skull was originally drawn on paper using black felt pen, I then added colour using photoshop.
Seeing as though I recently joined the Dia De Los Muertos Group, I thought I’d do a Tshirt especially for the members. This has been slightly updated. This is the definitive design. All sizes available, and in black only.
