'The Still, "The Still Tequila Lotto"
Standing on a brick stove, the alambique (still) is ready to distill tequila in card 15 of Marina Pallares' interpretation of Mexico's lotería. It is a unique version of the classic bingo game featuring traditional images. The loteria made its appearance in the second half of the 18th century, and it is still a favorite at schools, fairs, carnivals and festivals. "I grew up in Jalisco, known for the production of tequila from agave plants, and as a child I used to play lotería all the time. These two facts inspired me to create the 'Tequila Lotto' series," confides Pallares, who credits the influence of Leopoldo Méndez and José Guadalupe Posada in her work. She masters aquafortis and aquatint etching techniques to create this eloquent composition.

"Lovely little octopus!"
This is one of three pieces that I have bought of Marina Pallares work. I pretty much love all of her prints! This little octopus is super charming and makes me smile every time I look at it.
