[BONUS] Skull of The Year Trophy
I just had to share a picture of the fantastic Skull of The Year trophy that arrived from Germany in the mail the other day from Ekkehard Beck of Designers Skulls...
The best part? The package had been x-rayed in Germany before it got here. I can only imagine what they thought when they saw what was inside!

Sunday Simulacra - Version 3.39
Sunday Simulacra... allow me to shed a little light on the subject this week.
Sean Bentley from Bellevue, WA said: “I was taking a picture from my sailboat of the becalmed Puget Sound in late afternoon, and when I looked at it later, there was a skull leering from the depths at me. Yeesh!”
The next two skull lights are sent in by different fans of an odd occurrence that is happening around Brooklyn, NY.
The first example is from artist Kurt Marquart, creator of Betty Bones, who wrote: “I found these skulls being reflected on a brick wall in my neighborhood. It was from the sun reflecting off a window across the street from the image. The sunlight bounced off the window, and through some criss-cross metal thingamajig on a utility pole.”
The Second image is from Ross Savedge who told us: “It's a light reflection on the side of a building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I have no idea what the light was reflecting off of, but it's pretty cool.”
Hayden C says:
Thank you all for submitting these enlightening pictures. Sean, that is a great shot and I wonder if there is a deeper story to tell from the area where the picture was taken. Kurt and Ross, It looks like NYC has a new place to go if one wants to see a light show. I am curious if what you are both seeing is a result of the same building and the same apparatus on the utility pole or just a weird coincidence. Since you are in NYC you can always consult here for help and let us know.
Until next time, this is Editor C, and I'll leave our skull light on for you.
Keep sending those pictures in to our submissions address. Just keep in mind that since we only post simulacra once a week it might take a little longer than normal for it to be posted.

Already Dead Skull
Shayna, from the endlessly talented state of Virginia, brings us her hand painted Day of the Dead skull that is available at her Already Dead Etsy store (which happens to be filled with all kinds of cool skeletal related items).
I like the warm earth tones you used and the bright flowers that decorate this skull. It reminds me that what returns to the Earth shall someday be reborn. Thanks, Shayna!

[Flashback Friday] 352. Skull Roll
Flashback Friday is a weekly countdown of the fan selected top 52 skulls of Skull-A-Day 1.0. Each week I'll be posting an original skull along with some additional commentary in order from lowest to highest rated, with the #1 skull appearing in the last week of year 3 of the project...
#14: 352. Skull Roll
As the project neared its end, I started doing a lot more collaborative skulls. In this case I'd been talking with my friends at my favorite local sushi & tater tot restaurant about the project for a while and they kindly offered to let me come in and play in the kitchen with their ingredients! Check out the original post to see the skulls that my friends who were working there made while I was making mine. Sadly this hasn't become a regular item on the menu.

Fraktur Skull
Ross Elliott from London, UK wrote: “I thoroughly enjoy your blog, and would like to respectfully submit my work for inclusion on it. These two skulls are a part of a series made from the font Fette Fraktur. All characters are not modified and are simply rotated and scaled into position.”
Rumspringa C says:
Thank you for submitting this awesome work. I am amazed by your visionary skill to take an already difficult looking font and make it into something more recognizable. If you get a chance you should take a look at these typs of Fraktur for the more influence.

Neo-Vintage Skulls
An old friend Sake returns with a pair of skully drawings.
“1905”
“Miss Atomic 1945”
Faux C says:
Two masterpieces in a classic sense. It is great to see your impressive work. I really like how you captured the wear of actual vintage photography in your work. It makes me think that the subjects in the photo are aging as well as the photos themselves. Thank you for submitting your work and continuing to be a fan.

Tuesdays With Tatman #38
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine all over the internet. If you have never taken the time to relax with a skull scented candle then maybe today needs to be that day. Wait, did I just say "skull scented"?
“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”- Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta
Each Tuesday in the 3.0 year will bring a new Tuesday With Tatman. As a tribute to the Skull Master's astounding feat let's all get creative and try something new(and hopefully skull related).

Calaveras Screen Print Skulls
Valerie Pierce knows that doing something you love is best shared with friends. She writes, "Recently I have started a screen printing company with a friend of mine called Calaveras Apparel that is focused around Day of the Dead, skulls, fine art, and tattoo work. I designed the logo by hand, drawing the image and creating the font used for the company name, then we hand screen printed it on a few t-shirts."
I really like the old school vintage look of your shirts. As a matter of fact, all of the stuff in your etsy store is great. I'm such a sucker for handmade goods. Thanks, Valerie(and thank your friend, too)!

This week’s offering is Courtesy of a Cat.
“Cleaning Killed the Caretaker” 12" X 8" Arranged litter box material
Sitter C says:
I thought a cherry pie today was just too predictable. I wish I could tell you, I was trying to collect some of the World’s Most Expensive Coffee, but sadly no I am not getting rich with this. The responsibility for today’s inspiration goes to a neighbor who is away leaving me to cat sit. I told them I wouldn't mind, but needing to clean the litter box would be the death of me.
I can clearly tell you the moment when I had my doubts about doing this one. However, if you don't have a cat or even if you do, here is a more palatable way in which you can have fun replicating this one at home. As for this one's final location... sometimes good art ends up in the dumpster.
Remember each Monday during the 3.0 year I am posting an original skull design. My weekly offerings are nothing compared to the one-a-day massive project done by the Skullmaster in 1.0, but hopefully you will find some nourishment in these weekly offerings.
Need more nourishment? You can always Friend or Follow.

Directional C says:
This is wonderful work. Taking an object that many of us see many times a day and never think about, and turning it into a piece of art that displays so much movement is an incredible feat. My favorite part of the whole piece is the creation of the teeth using a natural source. Thank you for submitting your work for us to share.

Sunday Simulacra - Version 3.38
It seems that Mother Nature is doing her fair share of the work to create the skull simulacrum that all of our keen eyed skull hunters are finding. These tree skulls are just some of the ways that she is reminding us that someday our skulls will return to the Earth.
Morté (aka Matt) found the first of today's trees. "I took this picture this last summer at the Kanawha State Forest in WV on one of their nature trails. I see a large skull in the tree trunk, but I did not notice it when I took the picture, just after I got it on my phone and looked at it."
Christopher had some help from some canine friends with this one. "I took the attached picture while hiking with my cousin's poodles in a park in Toronto, Canada. I immediately thought of Skull-A-Day when I saw this broken tree in the woods."
And Chelsea Park found this stumperrific skull hiding in a tree on the big island of Hawaii, on the way to the Lagoon at Kiholo Bay.
Thanks to everyone for getting out there and staying active with physical activity and for keeping your skull eyes open. If you are lucky enough to find one of Mother Nature's hidden skulls then feel free to submit them through our submissions page.

[Flashback Friday] 268. Skull Island
Flashback Friday is a weekly countdown of the fan selected top 52 skulls of Skull-A-Day 1.0. Each week I'll be posting an original skull along with some additional commentary in order from lowest to highest rated, with the #1 skull appearing in the last week of year 3 of the project...
#15: 268. Skull Island
I love maps, so it seemed an obvious choice to make one of a Skull Island. Of course any good map needs place names on it. I decided to made things in tribute to some of my dedicated friends, fans, and fellow bloggers. You might recognize a few names on there, though it seems like it might be time to make an updated version with some of my new pals. Maybe a print of this is in order, would you be interested in one?

In Use
Themyscira C says:
I am not so sure if this could “Stop a bullet cold”, but it certainly could “Make the Axis fall.” I am very impressed with your work. The details and coloration are exquisite on this. I am glad you included a picture of it in use, it makes this work that much more tangible to the viewer. Thank you for submitting your work to share.

[BONUS] Skull Cross-Stitch in Use
Christina did an excellent job making my Cross-Stitch pattern into a pillow and she says she plans to make more!
Jewelry Of The Skulls
London jewelry designer Gisèle Ganne graces our blog today with her exquisite skull designs. Her first piece is a beautiful twin stag skull that is a true trophy rack.
And this second piece is just something that defies definition. A terrific shoulder piece that would make any head turn. Especially if you were dancing face to face with the skulls of the Black Widow.
If you like these then you will love all of her other fine jewelry at her website. Some of my favorites are the army men rings. Thanks for sharing your wonderful jewelry with all of us, Gisèle.

[BONUS] 376. NYC Blizzard Skull
I was recently in NYC on a business trip just in time to have several plans canceled by an impending blizzard. In reality the storm only dumped a few inches, but I still ended up with some free time on my hands so I made this piece out of the snow on a subway grate while running from one nice warm location to another...
Wartercolor Skull

Rough C says:
Thank you for submitting your work. At first look one may not recognize this as watercolor. You have such a deep dimension of colors that I thought it was another medium. This is wonderful work and I like the story behind it's creation, thanks for pointing us there.

Tuesdays With Tatman #37
I may be a day late for National Flag of Canada Day, but that won't stop me from paying homage to my neighbor to the North (or as some people may call it- America's hat).
O Canada! You are a great country. Whether you're doing a great job of hosting the Olympics, or just circling the pond for a friendly game of hockey, you truly know how to spread brotherhood and friendship. Thanks for being so understanding of your spoiled neighbors to the South(or as some call us- Canada's pants).
Each Tuesday in the 3.0 year will bring a new Tuesday With Tatman. As a tribute to the Skull Master's astounding feat let's all get creative and try something new(and hopefully skull related).
In all seriousness, I mean no disrespect to the country of Canada in general. It's a really nice place, eh.

Ultraviolet Transparent Skulls
These two paintings come from Michael Aaron Casares. He tells us, "They are ultraviolet transparency paintings. I use acrylic and glass. They glow in the black light."
"Transitioning"
"You Will Recall"
These are some totally trippy paintings. The pics look good, but I can imagine that the real thing under black light is the best. Thanks for the flashback, Michael!

[BONUS] Skull In Use: Happy Valentine's Day
Amanda Hicks says, "I created a Valentine's day wreath to show my love of skulls. Some of the images are from you Noah, and some are from Rich's flicker page, which I saw posted on Skull-a-Day. I asked Rich if I could use and post his images, and he said it was fine. I found some others by just surfing the net. I made the images into beads by glazing them onto flat bottom glass beads, then attached them to the frame. I also added the black flowers to make it pop a little more. I hope you like it. Happy Valentine's Day."

Skull on the Rocks...
Nastya says: “Hi! I visited Irkutsk, Russia. At Baikal Lake there is giant junkyard in the forest on Olkhon Island . On the coast of the Lake, near the popular place on the island, is this stone .”
Gustavo Jaramillo wrote: “This picture was taken in Bogotá. Colombia, in the botanic garden. [Since I found out about the site,] I've been looking for skull-like shapes in the city. This is a kind of alien skull!”
Pat in Red Hill, PA told us: “The other night at dinner I peered into my glass to see this. No rearrangement whatsoever. Somewhat of a natural skull.”
C. Diamnond says:
From Red Hill, PA to Russia with love, and that love is simulacra. Thank you all for submitting your finds.
Keep sending those pictures in to our submissions address. Just keep in mind that since we only post simulacra once a week it might take a little longer than normal for it to be posted.
