Above, a view of a very life-like (the puns write themselves) tzompantli on the ceiling of Las Duelistas, my neighborhood pulquería. The artist, who is always just ... hanging around, applied skulls and one human-looking face in relief above his painted ones.
The entire pulquería is frescoed in this fashion. It's really a sight to see, and it looks like lately, more and more are coming to check it out. Randomly last Friday on my regular stop-in, I noticed a few wandering gringos in for a fresh curado. The joint was packed, loud, and smelly -- just as it should be.
Las Duelistas, by the way, has a Twitter feed. * Previously, "Pulqueria love."
