Los Mitos y Elementos

Gilly (and Rodolfo)of Inti/ Lil Sum' Sum' and Kan'Nal with the insane "Mitos..." hoodie.

The front of this hoodie was covered with one of the most famous Mexica (or Azteca) symbols known to the world,the Tonatiuh.

Maya glyph for the sun.

Maya glyph for a solar eclipse.

Maya glyph for the moon.

Detail of Kukulkan (or the feathered serpent) spilling water from his open mouth. Take note of the Maya  T shaped glyph "Ik" which stands for wind...

This is a view of the entire back of the hood. I tried to incorporate the elements of nature as well as Maya mythology.
Notice the sky is complete with the sun,moon and eclipse glyphs.
The center art pays homage to the feathered serpent "Kukulkan as well as 'Chac" the God of rain.
The bottom of quarter of the  garment displays two temples in the distance with plumes of fire encasing the entire design. The Center glyph is one that many know as the Mountain Air Batik Logo, or 6 Akbal.

The sleeves were covered in flames and each given a symbol  that represented darkness and the need for light.

The second sleeve was once again covered in flames but instead of having a glyph for darkness I chose the glyph for the moon.
This Hoodie resides in Denver Colorado and from what I am told is worn often. I made the hoodie in September of 2008.
