Thanks Dylan! As a child, I once saw the celebration there. I was a bit scared and fascinated at the same time. I hope to travel to Mexico City soon to see it again.
Great! I have always loved the idea of this festival too and love those wood cuts of skeletons and skulls by that mexican artist who's name escapes me for the moment. I should know it as i did a set of rubber stamps in homage to him once- is it Pedora? Pedrosa? It'll come to me as soon as I've uploaded this I'm sure.

October isn't just about spooks and candy
respect for the dead and crop tending as well
LOVE the color

Thanks M. It's Jose Guadalupe Posada. I love his work too! Would love to see your rubber stamps. Do you still have them?
Thats the feller! Yes, I still have them somewhere. I'll have to find them and upload some images of them. Just right for halloween!
