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.
