Woodblock Skull

Brazilian artist, and past contributor, Ramon Rodrigues, returns with another pair of his intricately designed woodcut prints.

Complex C says:

I am truly in awe of the amount of detail that you are able to achieve from your designs. Your subject matter in this pair reminds me of the classic images that appeared in periodicals and books that were on blocks set up for printing by hand , long before the invention of the camera, half-tones, or steel plates. Thank you once again for sharing your work with us.

Skull Woodblock Print

Ramon Rodrigues from Brazil, returns to us with more of his great woodcut prints.

What always amazes me with Ramon's work is the high level of detail. They look like pen and ink drawings, but in fact, they are made from cutting a wood block. This takes a lot of time and patience, but obviously it's worth it.

Woodcut Skull

Ramon Rodrigues is back again with another fantastic woodcut skull. His other works are here and here, and today his work rises to the top with a scaly fish friend.



The amount of detail work that goes into woodcut art is mind boggling. Ramon does a great job creating such wonderful pieces with a real eye for intricacy. I still don't know what his fascination with fish is, but it's great to see our underwater friends making an appearance here. Thanks as always for the great work, Ramon.

Fish Head Skull

You know it's a party when some skull wears a fish on his head. Ramon Rodrigues returns from Brazil with another submission. His other work was posted here, and now he's back with this crazy woodcut print.



Usually the crazy guy at the party winds up with the traditional lampshade on his head, but that would seem kind of lame for a party of skeletons. Although I might be worried that the Dos Equis guy in the background is getting jealous of the new "life" of the party. Thanks for sharing your good time with us, Ramon!

Caveira Skull

Returning artist, Ramon Rodrigues from Buenos Aires, Argentina, brings us a sketch done in a moleskin entitled "Caveira".

The shading and highlights work well to depict the delicate nature of a skeleton. I like how the right arm is a plant that is growing up through the eye in a way that allows the skull to view the flower. The use of a plant growing through and around the skull is a beautiful whimsical way to express what happens naturally when a body is buried in the earth. To be interned in the earth is to be turned into soil. Although a skeleton will not decompose and the plants of the earth will eventually encase it. It's one of the more beautiful processes of the macabre practice of burial.

Skull Mask

Ramon Rodrigues is a Brazilian industrial designer and graphic artist who currently finds himself in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His skull mask painting has found it's way to America for proper display here on Skull-A-Day. This painting was done in china ink with water on paper. The original size is 65 x 35 cm.

You've done a wonderful job of crafting a lovely work of art as well as creating a perplexing story. Is the musician so admired that she needs to disguise hgerself while on stage so that no one knows her true identity, or is she ashamed of some unknown physical defect that makes her choose to show her skull rather than the face upon it? It's a great piece to ponder, Ramon. Thanks for sharing it.
