Artist's Comments

How about we let Halloween start a little early, shall we?

I've been wanting to do a Day of the Dead piece since last year so I finally got my chance when I was invited to be apart of the Autumn Society's Dia De Los Muertos Show: [link] taking place on Friday October the 2nd at the Proximity Gallery.

And for those of you who don't know Dia De Los Muertos (or All Souls' Day) is a Mexican holiday on Nov. 2nd where families get together and celebrate their deceased loved ones using sugar skulls (calaveras) marigolds and foods and drinks that the dearly departed favored. They visit the graves of their family members and might even catch a glimpse of their spirits.

I originally had a bigger party scene planned for this but I settled on just something simpler so I can finish on a decent time. I just knew I wanted it to look like it was under a black light and have a Mariachi band and a chicken in there, haha.

Conjured with colored pencils on black paper.

Stay spooky!

=SeizureDemon whips up the ethereal celebration in Los Muertos del Mariachi with wispy chalk work and bright colors. A party; just like All Souls Day. (Featured by ^oilsoaked)

That's pretty nifty, mister. You should maybe try black velvet painting sometime.
