Back To Skull

I had the unique opportunity to create a giant skull from vinyl stickers on the hood of a decommissioned school bus!

If you look carefully you'll spot a vintage Skull-A-Day sticker peeking through!  

This was created in conjunction with a street art sticker exhibition called Hello My Name Is which was at Gallery5 here in Richmond, VA in September.

The bus will eventually be transformed into a mobile art gallery. You find out more about the plans as they come about from Little Giant Society HERE.

Creative Sprint 2025: Skull Edition

Once again my company is holding our annual public Creative Sprint from October 1-30. Each day for 30 days we share a simple prompt and ask folks to take just a few minutes to make something and share it!

I always try to participate as well since it's inspired by my original Skull-A-Day project. AND since it's the 10th anniversary of the Creative Sprint I decided  make some daily skulls again in tribute to the project. 

Here's what I did on Day 1, when the prompt was, "make something that fits in the palm of your hand, using only the materials in your immediate environment"...

 


This is a direct reference to day one of Skull-A-Day when I cut out an orange paper skull.  My schedule is absolutely bananas right now, with multiple overlapping creative projects, so I really don't have the time to dedicate many hours a day to skull making this time around. However it's fun to spend a little time each day thinking about the project that transformed my life and career!

If you want to see what I'm making, I'm just putting them in my Instagram stories AND in the private LinkedIn group dedicated to the Creative Sprint (you're welcome to join there if you want to take part. The prompts are being posted each morning!) 

Sticker Skull: Laughing/Screaming

Skull art comes in waves for me and apparently 2025 is the Year of the Skulls for me. This is the first of 2 new pieces I created recently and more are on the way...

 


 

This is the first sticker art skull I've made since 2021 and I'm thinking that this will be part of a trilogy of pieces eventually. 

This one is currently in Brooklyn for the Skull Rock At Treasure Island show at Sweet Lorraine Gallery, featuring over 160 artists.  The show opens Saturday the 4th and runs through Halloween. 

If you're in the area, I hope you'll check it out in person! More details about the show can be found HERE.

Creative Sprint Skull Day #3

For Day 3 of Creative Sprint we were tasked with using a single sheet of paper to make a sculpture...

I decided to revisit Day 72 of my original project where I designed a papercraft toy skull. 

The pattern for the original skull is still available as a free downloadable PDF to make and decorate yourself! Get the original pattern HERE and get a blank DIY version HERE

Creative Sprint Skull #2

Day 2 of Creative Sprint: working with the letters of my name. I used a range of typefaces to find the shapes and weights I needed to make this work.

A tribute to Day 65 of the original project, the Helvetiskull...

Creative Sprint Skull #1

Hey y'all I'm participating in my company's annual 30-day Creative Sprint challenge again!  

This year I decided to pay tribute to Skull-A-Day (since it was in fact the thing that inspired my work as a creativity consultant). So I'm going to try to make a skull a day inspired by the Creative Sprint prompts and some of the original skulls I made back in 2007-2008.

 

For Day 1 the Creative Sprint prompt was "Make something that fits in the palm of your hand, using only the materials you find in your immediate environment." So I carved a small orange skull in honor of the small orange (paper) skull from Day 1 of Skull-A-Day!


If you're up for the challenge it's not too late to join me by signing up HERE.

Skull-A-Day NFT Collection launches today!

 I'm excited to announce the release of all 366 of my original Skull-A-Day skulls as NFTs today!

This project has been months in the making and as of Noon Eastern Time the public is invited to mint their skulls on the special site we built for the project: TilDeathDoUs.art

 


If you've been following this project since the beginning the site might look familiar as it was based on the layout of this blog way back in 2008. Look in the sidebar for some fun easter eggs in the form of the original blogroll (sorry the links don't work). 

I'd love to see what skulls you get, so be sure to share and tag me (@NoahScalin on IG & Twitter) and use the #skulladay hashtag! And of course please help me spread the word!

 Thanks for continuing to support me and this project on its 15th(!) anniversary!
