Wire & Frame Skulls

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!

Today's skulls are the handy work of Massachusetts welder, Jay Carlson. The welded wire skull measures 16" x 22" and is made of 5/32" stainless steel. Jay has also spent 15 years doing art and antique restoration specializing in old art frames. This pirate skull frame would be perfect for a picture of your favorite "booty".  Thanks for sharing these, Jay!

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

Tea Bag Skull

Randy Carboni creator of the Pirate-A-Day project wrote: “I finally am able to submit a skull. This is the only one I have that is only a skull. The rest are on pirate hats.”


Swabby C says:

Shiver me timbers, for the future we also like hats with skulls on them. I am drawn to this piece. I love the simple tones and I absolutely love that it looks like an intended accident. As if you dropped a tea bag onto your good paper and just keep moving forward with your art. Perhaps, it is a new way of reading tea leaves? Just drop the bag on paper and see what your future holds. Thank you for sharing your work with us, and much continued support and success to you and your Pirate Project.

If I were a pirate you know what my favorite drink would be?
Arrrr-C Cola!

Stained Glass Pirate Skull

David Kennedy submitted this stained glass skull.

We love the fantasy of being a pirate. It seems glamorous and dangerous, but in reality, it's far from it. Probably one of the most interesting history things I've studied, is about pirates. I suggest you all read a history book on these fascinating people. Then, feel free to keep on fantasizing. I plan on doing so, at Magic Kingdom with my husband and daughter, in two weeks. Ahoy!

Pirate Skull Make-Up

Return submitter, Edward Przydzial sent us this great photo of him as a skull.

Edward does great work. I'm really impressed with this skull make-up. I love the gaunt look the texture gives to the skull face. The rest of the costume combined with the skull reminds me of Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. Pirates are people who you don't want to run into, and a skull one increases the scare factor. I've been looking at different skull make-up designs for an upcoming party, this is the 1st really masculine one that I've seen and I'm thrilled. I'll have to do something similar for my husband, when his need to be a skull arises. If any of you have made yourself into a skull or skeleton, please submit your photos to us. We would love to see them.

Pirate Skull

Sjoerd Jorritsma from the Netherlands brings us his interpretation of a pirate flag.



Definitely a great new version of an old classic, Sjoerd. Classic Black and White skulls are still some of the best.

And some of the best times are on Halloween. You couldn't have forgotten about the "Countdown To Halloween". It's only 2 days away!

Are You A Space Pirate?

Hey folks, at long last I'm able to give you a sneak peek at my new project: League of Space Pirates!




I'll be doing a lot of work on it over the coming year and I hope you'll want to check it out and get involved (and don't worry Skull-A-Day isn't going away, I'll keep the daily skull posts coming here as well). One thing you can do right now is get your very own Space Pirate name! Mine is: Ship's Mate Noah the Often Unusual, seems appropriate. What's yours?
