[Flashback Friday] #69. Art-O-Mat (Shrunken) Skulls

Welcome to another addition of Flashback Friday.** This year the guest editors, Citizen Agent, Tatman, and myself, Azurafae, are taking turns counting down our personal favorite 17 skulls from the Original 365.25 Year. So please join us as we visit the archives and add our additional commentary on some of the original pieces.

6. #69. Art-O-Mat (Shrunken) Skulls

I like the idea of being able to produce small pieces of art in a large quantity. If you look closely, no two skulls are alike. That means that he hand drew, cut and punched each one before shrinking. Shrink plastic is a relatively easy product to draw on. I've made many things with it. The shrinking part can be very tedious, because the plastic curls up as it heats and has a tendency to stick to it's self or another piece while shrinking. This is hard to fix. Making piece in this large amount takes a lot of time and patience. It's an inexpensive and useful way to promote yourself. It's neat to know that there are many people walking around NYC with a small piece of his art.

**Flashback Friday was a weekly countdown of the fan selected top 52 skulls of Skull-A-Day 1.o.
