Dia de los Muertos.

This year I decided to create an installation for Dia de los Muertos, the Mexican festival called Day of the Dead. While I was working on some images of Elvis for an altar, EV wanted to join in too. She even made me print out a picture of Elvis for her, she was not content to work on the usual pictures of Totoro or Ponyo. I really love drawing with EV because I love drawing so much, and I was quite impressed with her work.

Working on my installation involved painting my face like a Mexican sugar skull. EV came to see me installing the work and she apparently said "Mama's so silly". But afterwards she wanted her face painted like a sugar skull too, but we settled on a pussycat.
