Calacas 2 Print Exchange 2012

This is my sketch for my Solar Plate print. it features american, japanese, and mexican de los muertos themes. japanese oni biting on a skull biting a sugar skull which contains all styles within itself. plumerias are the eyes, rose for the nose, and pin striping for aesthetics found in modern sugar skulls. japanese cherry blossom and rose are in the background for more variety with the background.
