Yesterday was my birthday and I spent it in my role of “Master of Horror” selling my wares at @daysofthedeadhorrorcon in Las Vegas! Got to meet many horror icons including Heather Langenkamp @langenkamph , @choptopmoseley who I drew as his character as he appears at the end of Silent Night Deadly Night 3 (wanted to go for a deep cut) and although I did not win the Face of Horror competition I campaigned for in the fall (one prize of which was a photoshoot with Kane Hodder), I still got a picture with @kanehodderkills (although this one won’t be published in @ruemorguemag unless..?). They were all unbelievably nice! Very fun weekend, hope to do more horror conventions along with comics, zine and art book fairs in the future.

TBT to Days of the Dead! Missing convention he conventions and seriously missing the hugs. I hope this madness will only bring us all closer together in the long run. See you back on the convention circuit when we can! Sorry to all the ones we’ve already missed out on. #TBT #DaysOfTheDead #Conventions #twinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CAv2nN5lCeo9a9NSK0RIgk--zQCH91Efae_47s0/?igshid=b8y27iv10h1d

Unpopular opinion

Coco isn't representation, it's a bundle of stereotypes about Mexico that Mexican-Americans believe about Mexico.

It represents a version of Mexico that never existed, badly twists the beliefs behind the days of the dead and presents Mexico as a country that hasn't progressed in the last 50 years.

The only people I've seen praising Coco are Mexican-Americans, particularly those that have never been to Mexico or participated in the cultural life of Mexico.

It's a movie made for Americans (including Mexican-Americans) that exploits Mexican traditions and peoples. It does very little to show the complex traditions, fed from dozens of different cultures (Mayan, Aztec, Zapotec, Mexica, Spanish, among others) and blended over the centuries after conquest.

It's a nice story but it's about as accurate as Pocahontas.

Here are some places you can learn about the actual traditions for the days of the dead. Links at the bottom of the post.

Read the Popol Vuh, the Mayan creation story.

Watch the theater productions by Palenque Rojo.

Learn about the Catrinas, the fancy skeleton ladies first meant to represent those who turned their back on their indigenous roots and later a symbol for the death of the upper class.

Hell, watch the Chingones Hasta La Muerte ads, they might be ads for a beer company but they did a better job than Coco.

A pretty cool bunch of guys called The Jasons stopped by my table and picked up copies of my comic. They didn't get a chance to play at the show but they were having a blast nonetheless. I'm a sucker for good schtick so I'm going to have to check out their music. #comiccon #horror #horrorcon #daysofthedead #daysofthedeadchicago #spectresscomic #jasonvoorhees #thejasons https://www.instagram.com/p/B5TkxQJn7Lx/?igshid=dqmmnbdwrrvp
