Living Arts of Tulsa, an organization that was created “for the development and presentation of contemporary art in Tulsa, Oklahoma” is having their 20th Annual Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival on November 1st, 2014. As a part of this event they will be holding a poster/t-shirt illustration contest.
My submission was based off the sugar skulls and items used in the altars for this holiday. I used bright colors and added a tongue to the skull to show the tongue-in-cheek humor that is prevalent in this unique holiday.
