People have said the drawing lackss colour but I think I like it without.

But had a little fun colouring it in.

Want to try? Here is a blank copy of the drawing.

It's an Aztec goddess not a Mexican god. She was the Goddess of Alcohol and particularly pulque.

Aztec art usually shows Mayahuel as a young women wearing a blouse and carrying a flowering maguey plant. 

According to Aztec myth, Quetzalcoatl and Mayahuel were fleeing tzitzimime (star demons) and tried to disguise themselves as the branches of a tree. Mayahuel was recognized, however, and the tzitzimime tore her to small pieces. Quetzalcoatl buried the pieces which in turn sprouted into the first maguey plants. These are then turned into pulque, an alcoholic drink used by the Aztec in their religious rituals.

Yes I visited the bar and it is the same. He drew it from a photo that Richard put on Changchun Friends.

Thanks Richard I appreciate. My dream - and I still have one - is to do something like that. Remember I only started cartooning last February and I am still learning with each cartoon and I'm adding more detail such as the backgrounds - in this one I drew the Mexican art behind Jack which was fun and in others I drew the big screen or the bricked-up main bar. It's all so much fun to do and a good legacy to leave Changchun.

I think you are in the wrong profession. Writing amid illustrating your own books could be a big one for you.
Aside from that, good cartoon. Like it.
