This is a sneak peek of a project I am working on at the moment. A sweet naive folk art pattern inspired by the book called "Cuentos de Cipotes" written and illustrated by famous Salvadoran Artists Maya and her father Salarrue. A charming children's book full of folk tales which take place in picturesque and colorful little rural towns of El Salvador, my home country. When I was very little I used to "read" it aloud without knowing yet how to read making up new stories by looking only at the pictures.
The term C
humpes is the folkloric way in which people in El Salvador refer to turkeys, part of the rural life's scenario depicted in the book.
