Mr. Cédula is a character that is based upon the religious Mexican ‘prayer cards’ known as ‘cédulas’. I’ve always been fascinated by the phenomenon that is religion and saint worshiping.

I found an old cédula somewhere and decided to create my own. One that depicts the other side of the coin, the soul of the martyr and saint: Troubled and almost going insane from the amount of requests and prayers that he gets throughout his day.

Once I finished this piece I had lost the card and the name of the original saint, so I decided to call this one ‘MR. Cédula’.
