Going to Bat for a Skull

Captain Morgan told us: “I'm a diehard Los Angeles Dodgers fan but have found it difficult to find team apparel that is both appealing to my rock ’n roll aesthetic, but doesn't look ostentatious. This is a stencil piece I made myself. I used spray paint and a mechanic style shirt that I bought at a thrift store. I feel I have captured my rock ’n roll aesthetic here.”


Brooklyn C says:

Given the heated rhetoric of the past few months, I thought this was a commentary on the situation surrounding your beloved Dodgers. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of personal style with us and hopefully your extra home team support will bring good things their way this season, and if they win it all this year, it will all be thanks to your mojo.

Skull Painting and Drawing

Michael Lado from Maryland submitted us these two pieces. The first one is a painting and the second is a drawing.

I like the contrast between the blue skull and red background. The barbed wire goes well with the terrified expression on the skull. The use of colors makes me think this is a frozen skull sinking into a pit of lava. Definitely a tortured demise was the fate of this skull.

This one depicting a deceased baseball pitcher and his skull ball, makes me think of the legendary baseball players of the past. Are they playing baseball (skull ball?) in the afterlife? I wonder if you throw a ball too hard as a corpse, does your arm rip off and follow along the path of the thrown ball? That would be quite the shock to the batter, catcher and umpire. I wonder if you get three strikes, can you be out or is it a perpetual game with unlimited innings. I like baseball, but not enough to play it for eternity.

Tuesdays With Tatman #45

(to the tune of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game")
"Log me on to Skull-A-Day,
Take me to it right now.
Buy me some C-rations and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the skull team,
If they don't make posts it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three years of skulls,
Here on Skull-A-Day."

I hope all of you baseball fans out there can enjoy whatever team your are rooting for this year.

Each Tuesday in the 3.0 year will bring a new Tuesday With Tatman. As a tribute to the Skull Master's astounding feat let's all get creative and try something new(and hopefully skull related).
