"In Mexico the first and second of November belong to the dead. According to popular belief, the deceased have divine permission to visit friends and relatives on earth, and to share the pleasures of the living." - Chloe Sayer, Mexico: The Day of the Dead: An Anthology

This is my submission for the Dia de los Muertos Show. It's a self-portrait with my Uncle Mike, who was a great artist and art teacher, and who was probably the person most responsible for making wee little Jay B. think that an artist was a really cool thing to be. He loved Halloween and he used to make my brother and I Halloween cards decorated with Roger-Dean-meets-Tim-Burton pumpkin landscape type imagery (I know, right? Even on the envelopes! )
He was smart and brave and wickedly sarcastic.
He was thoughtful and generous to a fault.
He'd love this.

That's him there with my boy.
