Spring Skull Ts!

 My Spring T-shirt collection is out now! 

 I'm excited to share the 2 brand new limited edition shirts that are in my store.

This one features the art from day #290 of my original year of Skull-A-Day... 

And this one is the first time I've put my sticker artwork on a T-shirt...

I'm really excited with how these came out! The detail is phenomenal with this water-based printing and the shirts, which are 100% ring spun cotton from Bella+Canvas, are so soft.

They're both limited run so don't wait to get yours now HERE.

New Store!

 Hey y'all I'm so excited to share that there are some brand new Skull-A-Day products out today!

The Skulledelic tee is based on day 347 of the project.

The Sparkler Skull tee is based on day 66 of the project. AND it glows-in-the-dark...

There's also a super cool hat with an embroidered Skulledelic patch.

Creative Sprint Skull #4

 A revisit of my cut paper technique for Day 4 of Creative Sprint...

Inspired by Day 38

and Day 89

 

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!

I'm celebrating my fifth year on Patreon this month!  

 

In honor of this milestone, I'm running a special offer for new and existing patrons! Starting today if you pledge $10 or more you'll get a limited edition print of my piece #Still_Life. This archival 9 x 9 in. print is signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Folks who pledge $25 or more will also get a surprise item of my choice from my archive! This special offer will be available to claim only until MIDNIGHT Eastern Time on Monday, February 28th.

 

Why sign up to be my supporter on Patreon?

 

Patreon is a way for creators to make more meaningful direct relationships with fans of their work. As the social media landscape becomes more fractured and difficult to navigate I'm putting my focus on sharing my process and inspiration with my supporters through this more intimate platform. On my Patreon page I have an exclusive feed, where you get behind-the-scenes look at the work I'm making as well as other content available nowhere else!

Here's what one of my supporters had to say about her experience: 

“I’ve been following Noah since his Skull-A-Day website days, and it’s wonderful to continue to access his art through Patreon. I really enjoy seeing and reading about his creative process, but seeing Noah’s art installed is the biggest thrill. It removes that feeling of distance and disappointment that I am never likely to see his art work in the flesh, when I can interact with Noah and his work online.”

– Beck Archer

#Still_Life

 I was invited to participate in an all skull art show at Blockfort Gallery in Columbus, Ohio, so I decided to create a special new sticker art piece just for the exhibition.

 

As with my other sticker art work I just overlap the stickers without altering them in any way. My goal with this one was to get as much detail in as possible.

 

The piece is on a wooden 20 x 20 inch panel and the background is painted on after the piece is sealed. The piece is for sale and will be available through the gallery during the exhibition which runs October 1-31st.  

p.s. FYI my Patreon supporters got an exclusive first look at this piece with additional background information I've shared nowhere else. They also get first dibs on my art, including discounts on new prints, and have access to an art savings account to buy pieces, including commissions. You can join up for as little as $5 a month. Find out more HERE. 

Skull-A-Day + @askulladay Collaboration

 

I had a great time once again collaborating with my friend in Brazil Lucas Dutra (AKA @askulladay) who has been creating his own skull a day since March of 2013! 

This time I created my half of the skull from used matches (which had been burned to create another recent piece of art).

His response was to create this amazing animated illustration! One of my favorite things about collaboration is creating something that I never would made on my own.

You can see the process of creating my part here:
