Description
A skeleton situated centrally. Its bones are red-brown in color with white outlines. The background is brown/black with eyes scattered throughout.
Colors used: 1. T-Cyan Blue, 2. T-Magenta, 3. T-Fire Red, 4. T-Primrose Yellow, 5. T-Ultra-Blue, 6. T-Violet, 7. T-Orange, 8. T-Orche (sic.), 9. T-Salmon Pink, 10. O-Ivory Wht (sic.), 11. O-Black, 12. O-Fire Red. "This title has been selected to intentially (sic.) imply the dangers of the recent aknowledgement of the Chicano community as an emerging political and economical force. Currently this recognition has yet to actually benefit the communities. With the potential benefits come the risks of exploitation. This print was intended to serve as a wake-up call and force the viewers to realize that all eyes are on 'us' and our future generation of 'raza'." C. Ramirez
