331. Bleach(ed) Skull


Bleach Painting on Denim. I started out making a straight forward image and then decided to play a little more with the medium, since some splatter started to happen in the process anyway. Thanks to my friend Carol for suggesting this medium/material and thanks to Phil and Mady who gave me this jacket when I was in Petersburg making the Rock 'N' Skull!

    The illustration is incredible.

    It looks like the Jean Jacket of Turin.

    That looks like a skull rising out of the break at the beach. Which, given our recent "incident" in Solana, is kind of ironic(al).

    I like the angle of the skull as it emerges from the jacket. Very well done!

    That beats the hell out of any metal band back patch that I've EVER seen. The way that it seems to be emerging from the splatter is killer!

    Super fucking cool... like the others have said.. all about the angle... and of course your illustration and drafting skills are the "dead" on. Been real fun following the blog.

    You know, forensically speaking, a skeletonized body means someone's been dead at least 9 months, but a bleached skull indicates at least 12 months. (At least, that's what I taught my undergrads today.)

    Nice work!

    I really like this. To me it's reminiscent of the Converge artwork for Jane Doe
