In honor of my trip to the Mayan Riviera next week with the fiance and his band, I thought I'd share some images of Mayan inspired art. Ancient Mayan culture produced absolutely amazing art and architecture, with complex patterns and intricate designs using a wide variety of media. I love seeing artists today incorporate traces of this uniquely beautiful style of art into their work.

Happy Friday!
