Tribalistic Skulls

Scott Middlehurst is doing a impressive job of representing old and new techniques of skull art.  The first is an ornate wood carving, an art form as old as humans; the second is a digital image, a media as new as a few seconds ago on the scale of the history of the Earth and the Cosmos.  Both share equal qualities of grace and toughness yet seem to span millennia in their delivery.  Thanks for sharing both of them, Scott!

Tuesdays With Tatman #31

Once upon a time I had aspirations of becoming a tattoo artist. After I determined that I need A LOT more practice I decided that less permanent art was the way to go. I used to draw all types of symmetrical tribal pieces and I thought that a skull would be a great way to revisit that art.



I may get this tattooed on myself at some point, but if anyone else beats me to it then feel free to submit a pic of it.

In case any of you may be wondering what this looks like etched onto a pint glass, well here you go.



I put this onto a pint glass as a gift for a friend of mine. If you like this, or maybe want an official Skull-A-Day glass, then please visit my site for Tatman's Glass. Thanks.

Each Tuesday in the 3.0 year will bring a new Tuesday With Tatman. As a tribute to the Skull Master's astounding feat let's all get creative and try something new(and hopefully skull related).
