Día De Los Muertos

I think by far some of the coolest folk art is for Day of the Dead.
Here's an example of Alfonso Castillo Orta's folk art.
Day of the Dead is such an interesting art subject because its cultural influence. A one day festival honoring the deceased. It's not spooky, its family oriented.

    This is a cool image. I'm glad that you have tapped into the patterning and stylizing of the Mexican, Central and South American arts.

    I like that artist too, I love the tarot cards and doing actual representational sculptures of them is pretty awesome.
