"Time Shall Unfold" Skull

Trevor Goodwin, from Toronto, Canada created this painting, titled "Time Shall Unfold".

Lately, I've been interested in reading about royal history, with a focus on the dark side. In America, we don't have royalty, so this foreign concept of rulers by blood, fascinates me. This is why I was draw to this skull piece. The banner "Time Shall Unfold", reminds me of the stacks of history books that I've read. The funny thing about this fascination, is that I wasn't interested in history until I was an adult. It's when I was able to read about all the scandals and dark "secrets" that I was entranced by the stories. It's what Grimm fairy tales are made of. What dark secrets this skull has to tell...we may never know.

Iron Skulls

Ben Marcacci submitted this piece. He said "I'm a contractor in Afghanistan. I work on my skulls on my lunch. Here's one. Its 100% scrap iron,with razor wire roses."

This piece in it's setting speaks to how dangerous it is being in Afghanistan. Against a background of barbed wire, military buildings, sand, and helicopters, it stands as a warning to new entries and memorial to those who have died in this dangerous pursuit. The cross in it's self is beautifully made. Here's hoping that one day, they will all get to come home.
