Día de los Muertos is one of my favorite clip of any yr . So many artists are inspire by Muertos visuals , including my own Loteria card serial publication . Here ’s a gallery of Day of the Dead - themed works from artist across the contemporary science fable , fantasy , and genre graphics spectrum .
Art byCharlie Bowater . Imagine FX first commissioned this piece , and it ’s a knockout . I especially like those little echoes of the lace in the background .
Art byAlix Branwyn . She call this her “ first Catrina pattern ” , and that ’s an court to Jose Guadalupe Posada’soriginal “ La Calavera Catrina ” drawing(circa 1910 - 1913 ) . Posada ’s infamous animated cartoon criticized Mexican indigene who aspired to imitate European style , while forsaking their cultural inheritance .
Art byChet Phillips . I make out this Pan troglodytes - faced icon . It seems as much inspired by Loteria as anything else . The patterning on the skull and shoulders make me want to see someone cosplay this at a solar day of the Dead festival .
fine art byJohn Picacio . I included this one by me because before I finished ‘ La Calavera ’ , this was my salutary tribute to the Day of the Dead . It ’s an oil color painting on masonite , surround by flowers , ephemera , and photograph of my grandparents , all housed in a custom - made box . Light the candles , photograph the aggregation — and voila — there ’s the cover prowess . Commissioned back in 2001 by The San Antonio Current .
Art bySara K. Diesel . This is one of my favored Muertos - inspired artwork by any creative person , bar none . Dynamite design oeuvre too . Sara ’s intellection : “ This is squall ‘ Lady of the Dead ’ , and it was enliven by the deity Mictecacihuatl . She was the Aztec Queen of the Underworld and she prevail over the hereafter , overseeing many Aztec ritual , while watching over the ivory of the dead . ”
fine art byJames Jean . It ’s the cover art for My Chemical Romance ’s record album “ The Black Parade ” , and if there ’s ever a Día de los Muertos procession as gorgeous as this one , I need to be there .
Art byKat Caro . There might not be an obvious sf / f slant to Kat ’s Blythe dolls , but wow , they ’re compelling and soooo creepy beautiful . I could n’t help but admit one of these .
prowess by John Picacio . My 2014 Loteria calendar boast the initial edition of this artwork , and I could never shake the urge to do a better version . I take off over from scratch , re - drawing and re - designing it . I finished this new variant this hebdomad , and those demons have now been put to rest . useable until October 22nd as a signed placard , along with my limit - run Loteria posters for ‘ La Luna ’ and ‘ El Corazon ’ .
artistic production byMab Graves . I recently saw her oeuvre for the first time , and I ’m ashamed I had n’t go out it sooner . muscular , iconic work . I get laid this objet d’art and whoever framed it deserve applause as well .
Art byJose Pulido . Star Wars Calaveras ? Yes , please .
fine art byTodd Schorr . This one ’s call “ Madame Calivera ’s Corporate Identity Program ” . From his book Dream Land , “ guard by her hyperphallic gnome servant , Madame Calivera — making no ‘ bones ’ about her role as death ’s surrogate — put two cherubic yuppies through her flaming basket of nine - to - five , pedigree - options greed , whereupon only too later do they see the mechanised cakehole of industry quick to withdraw them up eternally . ” Genius .
Art byPaul Sullivan . This is concept art for THE BOOK OF LIFE , an animated film directed by Jorge Gutierrez , produced by Guillermo del Toro . Paul spend five years working on it , nontextual matter directing and designing along with Simon Varela and Jorge ’s wife , Sandra Equihua , who designed characters for the film . I ca n’t hold back to see it this weekend .
Unknown artist . These are called ‘ Skele - Treks . ’ They speak for themselves , do n’t they ? If someone knows who contrive these , I ’d know to credit them !
