Day of the Dead
José Guadalupe Posada, The calavera of the fashionable lady (La calavera catrina), 1913, broadside, relief etching on zinc.
So it's Day of the Dead. I am feeling pensive but I'm trying to remember it's a celebration and it's "about how we honor and remember the dead". I also read some interesting stuff here and here - wish I could make it over to Self Help Graphics but it's a little out of my way.
On a related note - I love, love, love Posada. I saw a neat show of prints and broadsides in San Diego last year. Today I was kinda wishin' I had gotten the catalog. This show traveled to Central Washington University this past spring.

Thanks for the head's up. I am so excited about this! BTW, I totally thought about you yesterday. Charlie Rose had Isabelle Hupert as a guest and you could tell what a huge fan he was.

Totally off-topic but your man Michael Vartan will be on Kitchen Confidential next Monday on FOX!
