Sunday Simulacra - Version 5.25

Let's take a tour around the world on this week's simulacra safari.

Our first stop is in Berlin, Germany with Rene Felk who captured this bony looking brick.



Next up we find ourselves in (location unknown) with Daniel Muñoz and this creepy CPU skull.



And to complete our journey we land in beautiful Costa Rica with Roberto Chaves and his cooler skull who welcomes us with a tasty beverage.



Thanks for the friendly submissions! Help us plan our next itinerary by submitting your secret skulls to keep this global trek alive and well.

Sunday Simulacra - Version 5.11

The skull hunters are taking to the streets to find more hidden skulls. Let's see what the streets bring us this week...

I found this frightful fellow on the bricks in front of the fantastic Gallery 5 in Richmond while I was visiting for the Skull Exhibit for Skull Appreciation Day.



Kmo...Góngora sends in this brain case look alike from a bustling boulevard. "Look what I found in a metal post on the streets of Usaquen in Bogota Colombia."



And pensive pumpkin shares these wonderful earrings that she found while walking the streets. "I did not make these, let me be clear. But I found them in a vintage jewelry shop (Alana in Seattle) and know nothing about them, so I am really hopeful that someone will know something. When I mentioned to the salesgirl that they were skulls, she looked at me like I was insane. But I know a skull when I see one, and I thought these were exquisite. Very understated skulldom, so I can wear them in the straight world and not get kicked out of boring courtrooms.



Keep your peepers peeled for those hidden skulls about you and submit them to keep the hunt alive. You never know where they might turn up. Except for every Sunday here on Skull-A-Day. That's a given.

Sunday Simulacra - Version 4.47

Today's simulacra from my personal collection.

The first is from the foundation of one of the houses in my neighborhood.


The next is a muffin pan in a store that sells all types of kitchen accessories.


And last is a fried mushroom from dinner the other night.


Self Promoting C says:

Wishing everyone happy simulacra hunting during this season of spring holidays. I will be back next week with another collection from our wonderful contributors like you.

Keep sending those pictures in to our submissions address. Just keep in mind that since we only post simulacra once a week it might take a little longer than normal for it to be posted... and add another week when I hijack the post.
