What are sugar skulls?

Mexican sugar skulls are candies made from white sugar and colored icing. They are given as gifts in Mexico during Día de Muertos, which falls on November 1 and 2 of each year. These colorful, whimsical skulls represent a view of death that is not scary or morbid. Instead, they embrace the idea that life continues in some form after death.

What is Day of the Dead?

Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday, called Día de Muertos in Spanish. On Day of the Dead, Mexicans and other celebrants around the world honor their ancestors and deceased loved ones. It is a day of rejoicing and connecting with those who have passed. It is also a time to reflect on the meaning of life and death. On the whole, Day of the Dead is a happy occasion, not a sad one – which is reflected in Day of the Dead art, such as these sugar skulls!

About the Sugar Skull Artist

Ever since I drew my first sugar skull in 2005, my Mexican sugar skulls have been my most popular image. Since then, I've sold my sugar skulls on multiple calendars, t-shirts, puzzles, dog collars, shoes, jewelry iPhone cases, and even wedding invitations! This set of printable coloring pages is the first time I made my sugar skulls available as coloring pages!!

I'm excited to share my art with you in this way. You can see my sugar skull art here.
