330. Bent Objects Skull

Ketchup Painting and Bent Objects. After months of planning I'm extremely excited to present the official Bent Objects/Skull-A-Day crossover! I've been a fan of Terry's clever work on his Bent Objects blog since early on in my own project and it wasn't too long before I proposed that we figure out a way to work together. However, it was only just recently that Terry came up with this brilliant idea. He actually built these characters and mailed them to me to do my thing (which I must admit was quite daunting since he and I have fairly different styles). Thanks Terry!

UPDATE: Per request here's a detail shot of the skull...

    Crime is a little crazy over your way, but I didnt think it had gotten THAT out of hand!

    I absolutely love your crime scene.

    The question is, did the ketchup deserve it?

    Great work! And yes, that is a very creepy skull.

    Wow. I would've expected the mayonaise to go bad, but I never suspected the mustard!

    I'm so glad that this site doesn't censor my comments so I can say that this is Fucking Awesome! The merger of 2 of my favorite blogs makes me feel this uneasy happiness. Like maybe I'm that jar of mayonnaise who hired the mustard to do the job. I know it's a gruesome way to think, but if those folks in Europe can eat me on their fries, then by God, Americans will too! Viva La Revolucion!

    There was a day when I would look at this as a titillating scene. After the last few years of working criminal defense, this just looks like work to me.

    I would just like to note that while this photo seems to point to ketchup as the culprit, it is FAR from conclusive.

    A little late to this party as I was playing Grand Theft Auto IV, then I see this and I'm right back in the game.
    Damn you, now I want to go back home.

    Ok I can solve this one Col. Mustard did it in the kitchen with the revolver.

    Another victim of the condiment wars.

    Mustard was always playing runner up to ketchup, but today ketchup's calming effects no longer worked as Mustard was pushed over the edge. "It's my turn to be a breakfast condiment. I was in plastic long before you" Mustard screamed as it open fired. Relish and Mayo were quickly taken into protective custody as they continue to search for Mustard's cousin "Dijon" still at large.

    oh my gosh: it was Colonel Mustard in the Kitchen with the Revolver!
    Also: the skull here reminds me of the PB&J double Mona Lisa by Vik Muniz:
