DIAS DE LOS MUERTOS

I've been trying to make art for one of my favorite holidays, Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos. It just doesn't seem to be working out. I wanted to try and make masks that people can wear so I bought a plastic skeleton mask to use as a mold. It looks like it would be easy but every time I try to make one something goes wrong.  I got a few foam skulls to decorate and now everyone wants to decorate one. I am glad it has become something enjoyable for my friends however, I think I might toss out the idea of selling it as art.

I think sticking to my abstracts and the occasional commission work is what is good for me.

Here is a picture of a skull decorated by documentary photographer, AJ Nutter
