If only I had oodles of money to own one of her drawings... sigh.

That is a drawing? I took that for a photograph of the artist/sugar skull dealer. Great work.

On sugar skulls... I still have one I decorated at a party a few years ago. I can't imagine what kind of preservative that thing is coated in to have survived this long.

Wow, I thought that was a photo at first. I wish I could afford some of her work. Another artist to recommend for anyone that likes day of the dead art is Brandon Maldonado. Not quite the same style but very nice as well.
