[BONUS] 425. Fingerprint Skull II

I was recently commissioned to create a new piece using only my fingerprints. This one is 19" x 14" and made with archival ink on board using only my right forefinger.

Detail view.

Creepy Cell Phone Skulls

Returning contributor, Brent Griffith, is back today with something completely different from his pen and marker drawings that we featured before. This time he's armed with "only my phone, my fingers and various apps".  I especially like the "kaleidoscope" looking backgrounds.  A bit of colorful fun for such a creepy cranium.  Thanks again for sharing your work with us, Brent!

A Bunny & A Mouse Skull

A pair of skulls inspired during the Easter Holiday.

Graphic Designer Tricia in California sent us this: “Attached is a holiday-themed, vector-based illustration that I created for my blog - Habitual Hands. I try to create & post one hand image per day. I have titled the illustration ‘Easter Bunny Finger Puppet Show’. I took multiple anatomical liberties with the bunny skull because I wanted the illustration to have a somewhat playful undertone.”



Kelly Boyett sent us an Easter Play-doh Minnie Skull



Frank C says:

It has been 37 days... 6 hours... 42 minutes... 12 seconds since I woke up on Easter morning. I truly enjoy these two pieces. The bunny puppet makes me laugh, it sort of reminds me of a more human side of the Grim Reaper perhaps a little peek into their personal life when they are not at work and spending time at home entertaining their kid. The mouse skull just works so well there. The light colored material on the stark black table, just perfect. Thank you both for sharing your work with us.

289. Cold Cream Skull A.K.A. Cold Skream

Finger Painted Cold Cream (9.5in x 12in [24 x 30.5cm]). The image is actually disappearing as the cold cream dries.

171. Finger Print Skull

Ink on Finger Monoprint. This was one of about 18 attempts. Each was made by painting ink directly on my finger tip with a small brush and then quickly tapping my finger on a piece paper. Usually the 2nd or 3rd tap produced the best line detail.

Here's what it looks like closer to life size...

138. Hand (Mostly Finger) Painted Skull

Acrylic Applied by Fingers/Hand (approx. 10" x 9"). Attempt 15. Those preschoolers make it look easy, but this was surprisingly more difficult than I imagined (working small definitely contributed to this, next time I need to do a wall sized one!).
