This incredibly-detailed
ink drawing was inspired by Mexico's Dia de los Muertos, or
Day of the Dead. I combined the simplified black outline of
a skull with my usual funky abstract style to create an artwork
that is strikingly intricate and buzzing with energy. I like
the paradoxical juxtaposition of the classic image of death
and mortality - the skull - portrayed amidst elaborate abstract
designs, which express the fullness, complexity and joy of life.
