The Be Rad Blog

I came across these cute yet morbid calavera inspired artworks by Christian Montenegro. They belong to the set “Muertitos,” which, using my inkling of knowledge of the Spanish language, translates to “little dead ones.” Montenegro takes various personal styles – glam, rocker, punk – and attributes them to his “Muertitos” in a highly stylized manner; I really love the hyperbolic bearing. Below are the “Muertitos” I feel I identify most with.

I’m not much a tennis player, but this “Tenista” (and the word “tenista” itself) just put a smile on my face.

Be Rad. Enjoy.
