3D Lego Skull

Jerry Loo from Singapore, created this 3D Lego skull. He explained, "It is based on my interlocking skull puzzle design. I am a puzzle collector." I love seeing what people build with Legos. This creation gets added to the growing list of Lego skulls we've featured.

We want to share your skull art! Be a part of the Skull-A-Day project. Details are HERE.

Lego Skull

I'm not sure whether to thank Craig Horky for this sweet ass Lego skull, or the friend who suggested that he submit it. It's reminiscent of another Lego Skull that we've seen here before

This somewhat random assortment of parts seem reflective of our own DNA being the building blocks for our physical structure.  The smaller parts make the whole; which is why it's important to not forget them.  Thanks to you and your friend for the flashback, Craig!

Lego Goat Skull

This awesome piece of construction is courtesy of "The Scale Works" in Amsterdam. An agreeable note was included, "Lego is a great way to experiment with three dimensional form without getting your hands dirty or having to throw away mistakes. It's the ultimate in recyclable material."

Aaah, legos. We've seen your glory before. How many a young person has benefited from your sturdiness and versatility? Like all classic art mediums, the countless designs are only limited by the imagination. Maybe if we all share this with others then lego art might become the next great stye and we'll see it in museums someday. I'm gonna share this with two lego lovin' guys I know named Matt and Ray for starters. What will you do......?

Duplo Lego Skull

Henry Ryder made this skull with Duplo Legos, which are larger than regular Legos.

Here at Skull-A-Day, we love Legos...and most toys. We're giant kids...but good at being adults too, of course. I love seeing these classic kid's building blocks made into anatomical skulls. They are way past my skills of making a house out of Legos. Perhaps my daughter and I need to play with her Legos and see what macabre creation we can make.

Help make the Lego Skeleton a reality.

Skull-A-Day friend Clay Morrow AKA Choking Hazards (who kindly created the instructions for my Lego Skull), is trying to get his Lego skeleton design to be released as an official Lego product and he needs your help! Just give his project a vote HERE. And if he gets at least 10,000 votes it'll become a reality!

Super Scholastic Skull Saturday

This Super Saturday skull collection is brought to us from James Fantini, an art teacher from Magnolia, Arkansas. This assorted collection is proof of variety being the spice of life.













Having just celebrated Thanksgiving Day I wanted to say that I'm thankful for all of the teachers out there, thankful for all of wonderful skull art we receive, and mostly thankful for all of people who help make this site happen. Thanks for another lesson, James.

Choking Hazard Skulls

Clay Morrow, the creator of Choking Hazards recently helped our Skullmaster map his original Lego skull here. Today, we have the pleasure of sharing one of Choking Hazards original skull design.

If you would like to attempt this skull, the instructions can be found here.


Warning C says:

It is appropriate to have you make a skull out of a choking hazard, they belong together like schrot und korn. I find Legos such an amazing phenomenon. The engineering skill involved in making something that doesn't end up looking like a cube anyway is awe inspiring. Thank you for being a friend of the Skull-A-Day community, and thank you for this wonderful work to share.

Skull-A-Day Press: WonderHowTo

WonderHowTo gave a nice mention to the DIY Lego Skull Instructions that I recently posted...

See the full article HERE.

[BONUS] Lego Skull Instructions

The wonderfully talented Clay Morrow, whose awesome Lego work will be featured on this site soon, has kindly taken the time to make a set of DIY instructions for my very own 308. Lego Skull! Download them HERE (PDF).

When I originally built this I just worked with a bunch of random used bricks I bought online. I had no pattern and really couldn't explain how it was made. It was a real treat to have Clay disect the piece and rebuild it digitally (and make a few improvements along the way). If you're a Lego fan I hope you'll download the instructions and give this a try. If you make your own of course I'd love to see the results!

Thanks again to Clay for his extra effort on this. Be sure to check out all the marvelous Lego creations he's been making lately HERE.

Student Skulls

Teacher Rebecca Flowers sent in a couple pictures of skulls made by Walker Upper Elementary School students. They were visited by our very own Skullmaster last month you can see their formal thanks here.

Ms. Flowers told us: “One is made out of pencil eraser tops and the other is made out of Legos. The Lego creator ran out of white Legos and improvised with a red Lego bandanna on his skull.”


3rd period C says:

What a perfect way to celebrate a Friday! I love being able to feature the work of up and coming artists as well as see the inspiration of our daily influence on the future of art and culture or as Richard Florida may see them future creative class types. Thanks again for sharing this work.

** You can flashback to more skull erasers and legos at the links.

Alex’s Skulls

Alex’s mom wrote: “I got excited about your work because my ten year old, Alex, loves drawing skulls and making them out of all kinds of stuff. His dad and I gave him your first book as a birthday gift and he loved it. It was a huge hit. He has since made skulls out of legos, jenga blocks, wire, and beads, among other things.

Alex is in an amazing after-school art class taught by one of his friend’s dads, who was teaching them just recently about Alexander Calder and his wire sculptures. That spawned a teeny wire skull– Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for inspiring all kinds of people – big and small. ”


Soapbox C says:

This is an amazing body of work. Thank you for sharing this with us. We never tire of seeing how the site or the Skullmaster’s book continue inspired creativity in all.

Certainly in times when art programs are falling under the budget knife, it is wonderful to know that others are taking up the cause to make sure our children’s education is richer than only what they need to pass a standardized test.

[Flashback Friday] 308. Lego Skull

Welcome to another addition of Flashback Friday.** This year the guest editors, Azurafae, Tatman, and myself, Citizen Agent, 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.

#14: 308. Lego Skull

Zack C says:

I just realized that a number of my favorites have to do with manipulation of a child’s toy into a skull. I let the psychologist handle that that one for me. I have always been impressed by this one by the fact that you were working with a random assortment of bricks and were able to come up with something so perfect. I remember after this one was posted I explored the custom set creator tool over at Lego.com. Perhaps it was me working in a computer program rather than with actual 3-D trial and error, but I never was able to have the same amount of success engineering my masterpiece.

**Flashback Friday was a weekly countdown of the fan selected top 52 skulls of Skull-A-Day 1.0. Each week during year 3.0 The Skullmaster posted the original skull along with some additional commentary in order from lowest to highest rated, with the #1 skull appearing in the last week of year 3.0, all 52 can be found here.

[BONUS] 2 For 1 Halloween Pumpkins

Since Halloween holds such a special place in the hearts of many Skull-A-Day readers I assumed a bonus post was in order. Besides, I couldn't go out on the Crappy Halloween note...no offense to your great work, Mr. Gary Colins.

The first pumpkin comes from prior submitter, Greg Santicles. He made this for a company Halloween party. It's good to see that some companies still know which holidays to throw parties for.



And this second pairing is even more additional bonus with a built in 2 for 1 because Halloween rocks like that! Coming simply from 'W' at thinkingbricks.com is this nice pumpkin pair telling us "Attached is a picture of 2 life-sized skulls I made for Halloween, one is a programmable mechanical LEGO skull and the other is a Jack O'Lantern simply made from 2 misshapen, discarded pumpkins. The top pumpkin was shaped like an apple, the bottom pumpkin's top was severely sunken. It reminds me of the Ghost Rider's flaming SKULL (from Marvel Comics). It TALKS too... not the pumpkin, the other one!"



Check out this special Halloween message straight from the creator.

Clearly skulls are the reason for the season! HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!

308. Lego Skull

Stacked Lego Blocks (6in x 5.5 in x 5in [15cm x 14cm x 13cm). You knew I'd eventually get around to this. Legos are another favorite childhood toy of mine. Even though my folks still have my old set I actually bought a random assortment of used white ones on Ebay to have enough to build this.

[UPDATE] There are now downloadable instructions for this skull available HERE (PDF).
