The story behind Dead folks
Why “Dead Folks”?
The name Dead Folks started early in my career when much of my artwork was inspired by Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). I created Day of the Dead murals and artwork and participated in art shows centered around that style and culture.
Over time, my work evolved far beyond those early pieces, but the name stuck. Dead Folks became part of my identity as an artist and eventually grew with me into the mural business it is today.
