This is part of a wall painted in Oaxaca with a macabre theme (and my first attempt at stitching a few pictures together with hugin/enblend on... Linux!). The work was realized a few weeks before the famous “día de los muertos” (day of the dead: see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead).

Many artists are involved in the work -- it's a collective thing -- but they did not sign. I can only tell you that the girlfriend did 95% of the red hairy beast here ; I assure you that this is not a reference to my person though.

The wall is roughly two meters high which is not immediately obvious here, and extends a few meters more on the right. I sadly had to crop part of it here due to the car parked in front of it the evening I went to shoot it. I must plan this type of work more carefully I guess. :/

The nice part of it is that the neighborhood paid for the paint, and avoided the collective a 6000 pesos fine (which is more or less 3 months of your rent here in Mexico). I hope you like it. There a few other walls in Oaxaca I wish to capture before they disappear (which happen quite often when to “officious” or more political works).
