“Calaca” Sketchbook & Digital, 2018

“Calaca” pays tribute to the Mexican holiday, Dia de los Muertos, which would eventually inspire parts of the cultural amalgamation we know and celebrate as Halloween.

My rendition of the calaca borrows from the reverence of the dead celebrated in Mexico as well as an iteration of Death from the Guatemalan interpretation. I also mixed in elements of the cowboy aesthetic to pay homage to Mexicans laying the foundation to what would later become known as the North American cowboy (also because Death always feels synonymous with that aesthetic).

Feel free to like or reblog, and Happy Halloween / Day of the Dead !!!
