Okay, I know that 11-year-old mallrats & their feckless Hot Topic enablers have all but stomped the life out of skull imagery, but dammit, there are some good bits left:
- I Want Your Skull pulls together "Art, design, toys. All things skeletal." [Via]
- The site turned me on to Brian Morris’s excellent skull-heavy artwork. He shares more work through his blog.
- Marc Ecko’s Better Off Dead watch = fun, morbid bling. My wife is all over it. I’m sure it would go well with this skull disco ball.
- "You call yourself a Misfits fan?" Mr. Facial Skull-Tat does, and no one will question him. The first commenter captures my sentiments exactly. [Via]
- A woman gets sketched from the bones up here. [Via Reen Bodo]
- I stumbled across a gallery of Cameron Stewart’s incredible–and intense–artwork from The Other Side, the Vietnam war story he created with Jason Aaron.
- Charles Anderson’s Mysterio Collection offers stock art done in the style of Mexican horror pulp. Viva pelo peligroso. [Via]
- [Update: These handsome skull cufflinks will set you back a cool $225.]
- Growing up, I delighted my parents for several years by covering my bedroom door with skateboarding stickers–always heavy on the skull imagery. Powell Peralta’s Bones Brigade and Jim Phillips’s Santa Cruz art were among my faves. Along those lines, I got a kick out of this tribute to Jim’s iconic screaming hand.
- Speaking of skating, DX Interactive has posted The A-Z of Skateboard Tricks, a Flash-based gallery of 3D-rendered moves. [Via]

Bones Ripper! I had a Powell fluorescent green deck with a Bones Ripper on it. This was followed by a fluorescent orange Ray Bones deck when I wore out the Ripper. Thanks for the memory.
[Always. I had a huge banner of the Ripper hanging over my bed. When my 5-year-old brother took over the room when I went to college, he left me a quavering voice mail explaining that the thing had freaked him out. He also found the Roskopp sticker under the doorknob disturbing, “so I covered it with my pants.” –J.]

Bravo John. You owe me a new keyboard.

Fantastic selection. Thanks John. The Other Side is a great find.
Pirates are back!
[Oh, I know: they keep posting comments here asking for a Photoshop serial number! They’re not the brightest bunch under the sun, eh? 😉 –J.]
