Ernesto Yerena has just dropped his latest print Ganas Tex Mex Calavera. This skull was originally scheduled to drop last November on Day of the Dead, but due to him moving from Austin back to Los Angeles he postponed the release till now. He 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, Ernesto grew up listening to Norteño music which is the Mexican version of the German Polka. He has always been a big fan of polkas and when he lived in Texas he began collecting Tejano records and began researching the culture. If you grew up around German, Polish, Czech, Waila, Norteño or Tejano Culture his hope is that you enjoy this tribute image to the culture. For everyone else Ernesto hopes you enjoy this print and more importantly that this print inspires you to listen more to POLKA!
He is also dropping some other small prints and such so look around
