El Fin Del Mundo Es Ya Cierto (click image to see it really fricken’ large and in incredible detail)
One of the calaveras of awesome Mexican illustrator José Guadalupe Posada (1851–1913). “Because of the end of the world everyone will certainly now become calaveras; farewell to all the living, this is for real.” Detail from a broadside showing skeletons in pandemonium because of cataclysmic natural events around them. The text predicts an apocalypse at the end of the year. The year 1899. Happy impending December 21, 2012 all you johnny-come-lately millenialists out there! The world ended more than a hundred years ago and you’re not even wise to it yet.
