All of the artwork in this collection -- Skulls, Catrinas and
Culture of the Dead share a common theme: a lust for life and
reverence of death -- all explored in engaging paintings, drawings,
photography and sculpture. This book represents a veritable
compendium of skulls and Catrinas with impressive artistic scope,
and a valuable source of inspiration for contemporary tattoo
artwork. Skulls and Catrinas are the most significant attributes of
Mexico's traditional celebration of The Day of the Dead, El Dia de
los Muertos. Such pleasures are brilliantly displayed in the
artwork featured, in full vibrant colour, on the pages of this
book. In this massive hardcover, Edgar Hoill has assembled renowned
tattooists from around the world, who uniquely interpret the icons
of this sacred day. The Calaveras, literally, "skulls" are artfully
manifested in various forms among the artwork. Images of Catrina,
the covert queen of the dead, within this book demonstrate how the
artists view death as something to be laughed at and not feared.
Also populating these pages are beautiful women with skeletal
features transposed over their faces, bringing to mind the joy and
suffering of love. Tattoo artists represented in this book: Jacky
