Description

Ok, it's totally off season. It was kinda lost in all the mess I have in the room I call "studio" for a couple of years. Finally found it!!!
This is a version of our typical "Catrina" (The elegant skull) for the Day of the dead.
She's not death it self, she's a character created by a cartoonist and print maker, José Guadalupe Posada in the early 20 century.
(enough with the history lesson...)
When I discover the work of Sylvia Ji, and how she decorates the faces like the sugar skulls (also very typical in our tradition)
I added that to complement.
The inspiration reach us in every way!!

Wonderful use of colors -- you know how to contrast them very well. Great detail, too. How long did it take?
