This skull was originally scheduled to drop last November on Day of the Dead, but due to me moving from Austin back to Los Angeles I have postponed the release till now. I created this calavera in honor of the rich history and culture of Mexican-Americans aka Chicanos in Texas or as most of them would like to call themselves: TEJANOS or TEJANAS. As a member of a Norteño family, "norteño" meaning from the north of Mexico, I grew up listening to Norteño music which is the Mexican version of the German Polka. I have always been a big fan of polkas and when I lived in Texas I began collecting Tejano records and began researching the culture. If you grew up around German, Polish, Czech, Waila, Norteño or Tejano Culture I hope you enjoy this tribute image to the culture. For everyone else I hope you enjoy this print and more importantly I hope that this print inspires you to listen more to POLKA!
