Pinstriping Skulls
Clint J. Robinson displays his smooth handedness with this collection of pinstriped skulls(and others). Intricate detailing is essential and Clint creates terrific skulls with beautifully crafted lines. He's pretty handy at all sorts of painting as you'll see on his site. You can also click here to see more pinstriped skulls we've featured in the past, including a piece from our own Skull Master. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work, Clint!

Skull Hombre
From the pulpits of Toronto hails Reverend Andrew Wright who brings us a "Breath of Fresh Air" design of a bad ass, mustached hombre.
That mustache could carry this post all by it's self, but I have to mention how much I like the additional pinstriping and the color selections. Now I feel like buying some mustache wax and tequila. Muchas gracias, Andrew!

Pinstripe Sugar Skull
Micah Vogel sent us this sugar skull that he painted recently. He explains it's done with "one shot enamel on PVC".
I love sugar skulls. This one is different than the traditional ones, which is nice. I like the pinstriping, like in his previously submitted piece. I like the design of the roses and placement. I like the traditional element of the flower petals around the eyes and at the chin, mixed with nautical star for the nose and metallic teeth. The radiating background, really makes the white of the skull pop out more. I'm not familiar with using enamel on PVC. I'm familiar with PVC fabric, vs the hard plastic, so my curiosity has been sparked as to what paint will adhere to the fabric.

[Flashback Friday] #282 Pinstripe Skull
Welcome to another addition of Flashback Friday.** This year the guest editors, Citizen Agent, Azurafae, and myself, Tatman, 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.
15. #282 Pinstripe Skull
To me, pinstriping is a truly underrated art skill. I know that Noah created this pinstripe skull digitally, but that is only because of the time and patience that the painter must have in order to acheive near perfection. The ability to maintain such crisp detail, and to create a portrait with mere single wide brush strokes amazes me. I'd love to be able to learn this skill myself, but more than likely I'll just hire someone with experience to apply this pinstripe skull to some kind of future ride of mine. Maybe the gas tank of some kind of 2 wheeled vehicle...perhaps.
**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.

Pinstriping Skull
Micah Vogel from Omaha, NE sent us this piece. "I've started to teach myself to pinstripe, and here is a skull designs I came up with and painted."
I like seeing pinstriping. It reminds me of the details on classic cars. It would look great the hood of a
Pontiac Firebird (should the "Firebird" not be there) or the side panels of a '57 Chevy Impala...which are my dream cars. I can imagine that any care that would be adorned with this pinstriping would of course, need skull print upholstery and a skull dangling in the rear view mirror. Maybe one day, I will have a car like this, but for now, I can only dream.

282. Pinstripe Skull
Digital Illustration. Inspired by classic automotive art of pinstriping. I don't have a very steady hand and I've never tried this technique before, so I'll leave a real version of this to the experts...
