When I saw this print from super-cool illustrator, Andrew Bannecker, I was immediately inspired. One of his recent blog posts offers a peek into his studio, and it's definitely worth checking out. This design, along with several other of his works, appear throughout the space with other eclectic pieces that any artist could admire.
The above print reminded me of a colorful Mexican fiesta. With El Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) coming up on November 1st, I thought it was the perfect time to share some ideas for hosting your own party. Perfect excuse for sugar skulls and Mexican food with friends. Don't forget the guac !

ReplyDeleteI liked what you did, all is about colors and beautiful designs. When I went to Mexico I saw to many families celebrating this activity and it was something special.
