I'm so drawn to the color red these days. Red and orange. Does everyone know about the printmaker Jose Guadalupe Posada? (1854-1913) "Posada's best known works are his calaveras, or skeletons, which often assume various costumes, such as the Calavera de la Catrina, the "Skeleton of the Female Dandy", which was meant to satirize the life of the upper classes during the reign of Porfirio Di­az. Most of his imagery was meant to make a religious or satirical point; since his death, however, his images have become associated with the Mexican holiday Di­a de los Muertos, the "Day of the Dead"."- wikipedia
