Left Leg Yearbook: Candy Skulls




The picture below belongs to a Spanish illustrator, Sergio Mora (1975) aka Magicomora who did an exhibition in 2007 called Kamasutra.

His illustrations seems to be drawn by the pure glance of a naughty child.
Mora has a collection of paintings sailtor tattooes inspired and that influence can be seen in some paintings of this exhibit too. Pic's titles are written on a kind of papir.
His style: lowbrow culture, pop art. surreal, fun, oneiric, very colourful; some details recalls me a famous El Bosco's Inferno paiting - @Venice if you want to see it ;) -

Both skulls are a "vision" of Mexican Sugar Skulls given on the celebration of the Day of the Dead (November, 2nd). I see her tattoo as a symbol of her attachment to her South American roots, thought now I don't remember if she ever explained the idea behind this tattoo :\

Besides, I'd like to point the fact that Kamasutra considers women naked bodies sacred because them inspire desire not sin. Nowadays, everybody knows about the book, have read it, have heard of it, get some ideas (^^), whatever.. but How is possible that their culture has change so much? How everything could have been if our world would have been less dominated by Christianity?

So, I hope you guys like the painting La Petite Morte, no need to explain what death is, isn't it ;)

Love & Sex for you all!
