Of skulls & skaters
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.]
