Day of the Dead (Dia de los muertos)
About This Print
Being from the border-towns of El Centro CA, U.S. / Mexicali B.C., MX I have always been proud of both of my cultures and never belonged to one particular group or subculture. Since Mexicali is more of a modern city compared to most cities in the southern region of Mexico I never really got to experience the full effect of the Day of the Dead until I moved to Los Angeles where I see iconic DOTD sculptures, painting, posters , etc.. really often because of the Latin population that originates from southern region of Mexico and throughout Latin America. Overtime the DOTD culture has been adopted by many different people not just latinos from skaters to art collectors which is a good example of the same type of cultural overlay that has made this country what it is. This image is my interpretation of your typical DOTD skull that symbolizes my heritage, my home of LA, and what we do here at Obey Giant. -Ernesto Edition of 300, Signed by Shepard and Ernesto, On sale 11/1/08 SOLD OUT
