Moose was the first to point out artist Jim Riswold's terrific response to the Damien Hirst skull. (Thanks to Jessica for letting me know about it as well.)...











...He also spotted this beautiful print by Sykvia Ji at We Heart Prints...

My friend Anna told me about the secret Cadaver Society at Washington & Lee University. In her words, "They spray paint skulls all over campus - - and we allow it because they also contribute a ton of money anonymously to different university projects. No one knows who the members are or how they are selected - - but I find skulls on kids cars, the football field, buildings, etc."

Awesome! I've been finding skulls all over my school, so I'm going to put together a picture collection at Flickr.

That "wolfy" pic looks like an evil schipperke... We've had 3... who am I kidding? All schipperkes are evil.

I can't do the stereogram one and it's really annoying me XD has anyone got any tips on how to see it?

Mica said...

Wow! All this great stuff.
Ryan is a skull genius, obviously he's related to you!

The "card by L&D Dillon" is also the cover art for the edition I own of Ray Bradbury's novel The Halloween Tree, which I read every Halloween!
