I think sugar skulls are beautiful. I love the style. I'd love to do paintings of some, but I don't want to do it if it will be disrespectful. Meaning, I know what they're for, made as an offering to the dead, and dead loved ones, and I know that they're sometimes designed according to the person you're making it for. So what I'm wondering is, is it wrong or disrespectful if I use them for art, and design them the way I want without having anything to do with a loved one who has passed? I don't want to disrespect anyone or any culture.
