Memento Mori Mugs

For those who appreciate Stoic philosophy and the notion of accepting death, this design is the perfect accessory. The colorful image of skull and crossbones wearing headphones and adorned with roses, paired with the powerful quote from Marcus Aurelius, "Death smiles at us all; all we can do is smile back", serves as a powerful reminder to live in the present and strive for self-improvement.

There's no time to waste

According to legend, Death appears at midnight every year on Halloween. Death calls forth the dead from their graves to dance for him while he plays his fiddle (here represented by a solo violin). His skeletons dance for him until the rooster crows at dawn, when they must return to their graves until the next year.

We are all going to die one day, but sometimes we can't control death. The only thing that we can do is to treasure every moment you have, and make everyday the best of your life !

No matter who you are or where you come from, you will eventually die.

My illustration for the Year of the Water Rabbit 2023. I drew in the goldfish on the skull for good luck and the water rabbits to symbolize this Chinese New Year. I use a lot of Memento Mori themes in my work. Aside from the fact that I think skulls are cool, I think it's good to be reminded that life is short so we need to make the most out of it and hopefully with good luck and good health on our side.

We all have to die some time... act accordingly.

Remember you must die, so remember to live!
