Dia De Los Muertos | Day of the Dead

This is my newest Day of the Dead artwork, “El Buzo” (the Diver). It was actually something a customer mentioned to me in passing several months ago but I fell in love with the idea and kept mulling it over in my head until I got so tired of thinking about it I had to draw it.

My skeleton diver has his mask on, why I don’t really know – he doesn’t need it, but I figured it was like many a thing in our lives that we keep around even though we no longer need. There is some comfort in the familiar – even when the familiar is unnecessary. He is surrounded by seaweed and coral of many shapes and sizes. There is a large fish keeping him company and a school of much smaller fish in the background.

Currently the Day of the Dead Diver is not available but towards the end of summer is should be available in my limited edition prints along with all my other Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) art.

My thanks to Tony Brochado from Argentina, for your help.
