Dia de los Muertos 2009

I created this illustration for San Francisco's Dia de los Muertos parade and festival in 2009. The event was sponsored by the Marigold Project, and they commissioned me to illustrate the promotional posters.

I was so delighted to get to work with them, and I chose to draw one of my favorite images of Dia de los Muertos - the iconic La Calavera Catrina in her wide-brimmed hat decorated with flowers (marigolds, of course!) here depicted as a young woman in traditional sugar skull makeup.
