[CONTEST] Win a 3D Skull Device Case
Now a days, everyone has a phone and computer of some sort. Many people like to personalize some of their devices with cases. Hugo Arcier teamed up with Sculpteo, a 3D printing service, to create two skull cases inspired by his art series called "Degeneration", based on a faces reducing algorithm. The detailed skull highlights the printing layers while the degenerated one is a kind of tribute to the mesh triangles. Sculpteo is giving away two customized skull device cases, to two Skull-A-Day fans!

The case can be customized to the winner's needs based on available options. The cases are available in the two skull designs, Detailed and Degenerated.

App Sketched Skulls
Long time friend of the Skull-A-Day project Ronn Campbell in Kennewick, WA told us: "I downloaded an app called sketch up. Of course the first thing I drew were a few skulls."
Appster C says:
Thank you for continuing to be a supporter of the project and submitting some of your new creative endeavors with us to share. As we are settling into year 7.0 it is wonderful to be able to catch up with some old friends who may in turn inspire some new friends to share their work.

Skelly Heart
Misty Benson, Creator of the Morbidly Adorables™ told us: "I've been following Skull-A-Day since you started the 365 project. It's one of my favorite sites! I painted this piece called 'My Skelly Heart.' An 8"x10" acrylic on canvas painting, this is for those with a skelly, or skully, heart! Some hearts
bloom with flowers, others bloom with woe, my heart blooms with skellies."
QT C says:
It is always a pleasure to see work from our long time members. Thank you for taking the time to submit one of your creations with us to share. With all of us still riding the wave of celebration from last week's Skull Appreciation Day, it is wonderful to be able to share another heart and skull creation.

FACE OFF: Skull Appreciation Day 2013 Recap
For this year's Skull Appreciation Day Skull-A-Day partnered with Street Anatomy to create FACE OFF a collection of new skull art at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago, IL.
For those of you who couldn't attend the opening here's a tour...
In addition to the 10 artists that were invited to the show, we asked the public to participate in a variety of ways, including a DIY skull station using the same template we provided the artists...
And mail art that was sent in from around the world and created by local Chicago students was on display in the museum's library...
There was also a cool merch table (on a vintage hospital gurney no less!)...
One of the featured items was a custom made pin based on the show poster created by Anatomical Element...
The evening concluded with the destruction and consumption of a gorgeous custom made chocolate skull from Conjurer's Kitchen...
The best part of the opening, however, was getting to meet our fans in person and having the various members of the Skull-A-Day & Street Anatomy communities together in the same room!
More pix from the show can be seen HERE.
You can also see larger versions of the prints in the show and buy them in the Street Anatomy Store.
The show is up through August 25, 2013 so if you're going to be in the area between now and then, definitely stop by and check it out in person!

Face Off Mashup: Falk and Mark J Alonzo
Every year we do Skull Appreciation Day, we invite our fans to participate in some way. This year, for the Face Off show, we invited the fans to use the same template that the show artists used. We got lots of great submissions. Noah combined the fan submissions in the same split manner that the show work was created. We are featuring all the fan submitted Face Off pieces, as well as the artists from the show.
The below skull features work from both Falk Wieland and Mark J. Alonzo. You can also see each artist's full submission.
