These nine drawings are part of a larger collection of 52 drawings and watercolors based on Mexican Loteria – a traditional game with picture cards. Garrett has adopted the game to highlight the plight of the critically endangered Mexican Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) or Ajolote and the ongoing efforts to conserve the species.
