"Xibalba"

 "Xibalba" / 14 x 17" / watercolor, acrylic & ink on paper 

Howdy, all! With the New Year comes new artwork. And that includes the long-awaited conclusion of Alphabet Attack - Series 3!

Today's illustration is "Xibalba." That was the name the Mayans gave to their brutal version of the underworld, ruled by 12 merciless Death Gods. Honestly, how could I not make a painting of this? It fits so well with the insanely-creepy theme I've been running wild with, on this blog.

"Hush me, touch me. Champaign, your hair in the breeze.
Hush me, touch me. Lipstick, a slap on my cheek."
