Description: Lord of the sky and the earth, bring us the vision to see the gods, but so too the world around us with new clarity.

Quetzalcoatl.

After learning about him and other Mesoamerican dieties in Academic Decathlon this year (the theme being Latin America), he has become a muse to me. I draw him all the time in various forms.

I always thought the prehispanic Mesoamerican cultures and their art were interesting, but I'm grateful that this year I got to study it relatively closely and realize just how inspiring and wonderful it is.

The smoke wisp coming from his mouth indicates communication in traditional Mesoamerican art.
