New Prints -- Chichen Itza Set 1

Happy Easter again with my second set of new prints. I designed these prints (entitled: El Castillo, Templo de los Guerreros, Tzompantli, and Templo de los Jaguares) from pictures I took while visiting Chichen Itza located in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. The pictures are of the Ziggurat, the Temple of the Warriors, the Wall of Skulls, and the Temple of Jaguars. The overlapping opaque objects are simplified icons modeled after Mayan symbols (the one on El Castillo is modeled after the head of Kukulcan). The color scheme was also chosen from traditional Mayan colors (the color used in the El Castillo print is the unique Mayan Blue used by the Mayans to paint ritual ceramics and offerings). These were designed for personal purposes, as I plan to get the set printed, matted, and framed. Enjoy.
