Here, we’ll save you the 4 minutes on the Halloween Wikipedia page that it would take you to get to the more interesting pages about the background of Halloween:
- Samhain
- Soul cake. Soul cake??? SOUL CAKE!
You’re welcome.
Miriam Martinez, Calor De Noviembre
Remember this piece that Miriam Martinez put up a few weeks back?? She wrote us an email about Dia de los Muertes:
…A lot of my work, actually most of my work is inspired by it. It is celebrated on November the 1st and 2nd. Every year I try to come up with a different “Catrina” painting that celebrates this festivity.
Catrinas are a common character/symbol in Dia de los Muertos, she’s the goddess of the festival, the “Lady of the Dead.” This year’s Catrina by Miriam is HUGE, I mean look at it!
Her work has a lot in common – especially skeletonwise – with that of Mike Egan. See for yourself:
Mike Egan, Hello Mr. Devil
Death! Guts! Gore! And it all comes back to…….candy! Candy!
Right.
Have a good time tonight, everyone. Be safe, be funny, don’t scare little kids.
