Tuesdays With Tatman #2

Hello again, friends. Welcome to the second week of "Tuesdays With Tatman". Each Tuesday during the 3.0 year I will follow in the great shining path of the Skull Master and present a new weekly skull of my own.

As spring turns to summer here in the Northern hemisphere we all get a chance to enjoy the benefits of warm weather, sunshine, and outdoor activities. Taking part in summer sports and leisure time fun is a large part of what I like about this season. A part of my fun time includes swinging my sticks at a local golf course. The smell of the grass, the beauty of a well groomed course, and the sound of my obscenities make any golf outing an experience. So in honor of this great time I present you with my golf ball skull. He keeps a smile on his face since he knows that he will never be lost in the woods after one of my drives. Tom Hanks had his Wilson, so my friend" Spalding" will always be in my bag.



One golf ball, carved with my Dremel tool, and painted. As a note, if you try this at home, turn down the speed of your carving tool. This will prevent liquefied plastic from being splattered on your clothes and face. Trust me, it happens.

As an added bonus we have another offering for the Skull-A-Day faithful contributors union. It's your very own S-A-D Contributors Union card:



As suggested by Citizen Agent, roughly designed by yours truly, and fined tuned into .pdf form by the Skull Master. Carry and display it proudly. It's just another way of us saying, "Thanks for being a member!" Feel free to download the free .pdf HERE. The .pdf is card sized for ease of printing. Don't worry, even if you haven't contributed (yet) or are going to, you can still get it (we won't tell).

Tuesdays With Tatman #1

Hello, skull friends..."skriends"? Forget what you know about Tuesdays with anyone else. Welcome to the first weekly installment of "Tuesdays With Tatman". Each Tuesday during the 3.0 year I will follow in the great shining path of the Skull Master and present a new weekly skull of my own. This is a far cry from Noah's daunting task of daily skull art, but I hope that you will all enjoy the skulls I have to offer. Expect to see more of what Noah started from Skull-A-Day 1.0 along with my own examples of the monthly contest skulls. If anyone would like to suggest a skull for myself or Citizen Agent to do then please feel free to send it to the submission email address. And yes, Citizen, this was partly my fault so I'm at least asking our fine readers for help.

Today's skull is for our June flag contest. It is a tribute to all of the hard working Skull-A-Day contributors who have made this site a great place to visit everyday for the past year(and more to come). To those who take their love of skulls to a new level of professionalism I say, "Skull lovers, unite!". Whether you're a sculptor, painter, metal worker, or any kind of -er or -or, join the Skull-A-Day contributor's union "Local 666" and reap the benefits* of being a skull artist.

*Dental plan not included






12"(30.5 cm) wide by 9 1/2"(24.1 cm) high. Hand cut felt applied with heat bond tape.

Now there are 2 flags you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to make your own. Make your own flag for the contest and represent YOUR skull. Don't forget the June 30th deadline.
