Thesis

These two paintings depict the goddess of the dead, Santa Muerte, prayed for health and fertility. The dead are shown walking the streets, returning to their cemetery from the afterlife in order to reunite with awaiting family members. Once the dead have arrived, they are presented with a traditional meal prepared by the family members. The spirits of the dead devour the essence of their meal, leaving the physical portion in this realm.

Some Business card layouts

These are some business cards that I designed for my self. I would appreciate some constructive criticism on there design or ideas for better usage of the images.

A Gift

This is a piece that relates to my thesis but is intended for my little brother who enjoys skateboarding. The concept is about how we are all born to live and then die but it depends on the individual to decide how they want to spend there days living. It's also supposed to look cool for my little brother.

Day of Dead Art

This is one of four oil paintings depicting scenes from the Day of Dead festival in Mexico. This piece is almost complete. What's missing are designs that will be surrounding the person coming out from the coffin and a couple more people coming out of the other coffins.

This is the second piece "All saints day" or "Dia de los Santos" which is on November 1st, celebrating young souls that had passed away.
