The Codex Borgia

I'm reading this book all about THE CODEX BORGIA. I'm super stoked on the book's ancient drawings, which are loaded with mythical stories –– many to predict the future. The characters' poses really got me thinking, so I busted out my Sharpie to resurrect these unique forms. Did I mention I live for Mexican food... and Boston's Mexican food STANK! Please... somebody show me otherwise.
