I found these illustrations today, made by Kristopher Ho, and they are just mind blowingly beautiful. 
Revolution on paper: Mexican prints 1910–1960
This Saturday was what all great autumn Saturdays are about - spending time with family and good friends. We got up quite early, put our girls in warm jackets and wellies and went to London town together with our good friend Matt. Our first and a very exciting stop was Mexican Prints exhibition in British Museum.
The exhibition is the first in Europe to focus on the great age of Mexican printmaking in the first half of the 20th century. It features 130 works by over 40 artists including prints by Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
There is so much extraordinary breadth, imagination, and quality in the works shown. The range of material is fascinating: as well as single-sheet artists’ prints, there are large posters with designs in woodcut or lithography by these same artists, and illustrated books on many different themes.
The exhibition also includes earlier works around the turn of the century by the popular printmaker, José Guadalupe Posada, who was adopted by the revolutionaries as the archetypal printmaker who worked for the people, and whose macabre dances of skeletons have always fascinated Europeans.
