KRЯRL DЯAWINGS: Side Busting -- on ABQ Dia De Los Muertos

Henry Morales side busted on Albuquerque's first downtown DIA DE LOS MUERTOS PARADE on November 9, 2024, 4 - 10 PM, to sell prints in the plaza at the Civic Center. So we side busted on Henry to make an EXQUISITE TESSELLATION Print:

at the Dia De Los Muertos Parade

in downtown Albuquerque on November 9, 2024

This "inaugural" event was sponsored by Dia De Los Muertos USA and the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce, featuring almost exclusively corporate booths from businesses like Telemundo, Presbyterian Hospital, Blue Shield and Bank of America. However the more home grown MUERTOS Y MARIGOLDS PROCESSION AND CELEBRATION has been going on for over a decade in Albuquerque's South Valley.
