Art Friday : Skull A Day

Friday, April 11th, 2008, 9:30 amRoys

Today’s art site of the day is the wonderful Skull-A-Day which promises a daily artistic interpretation the human skull using a very eclectic variety of styles and mediums, ranging from traditional oil painting to often surprising materials as in Skull #168, my No.1 favourite of the 300+(!) skulls on display at Skull-A-Day. As of today, there’s only 53 more to go before Another Limited Rebellion’s aim of making a skull a day is finally fulfilled.

On to my favourite 10 skulls (in ascending order).

1. Skull #168 - (Escape To) Skull Mountain

You’ll be surprised if you thought that this was simply an edited photograph. Head over to SkullADay and read the comments there on the actual materials used for this amazing skull.

2. Skull #221 - Lino Skull #2

Love the stark contrasting tones on this one

3. Skull #131 - Acorn Skull

Finally, we have convincing proof why playing with food is a good thing

4. Skull #55 - Scratchboard Skull

5. Skull #282 - Pinstripe Skull

Somehow it reminds me of Darth Maul

6. Skull #288 - Cold Skream

7. Skull #224 - Butternut Squash Skull

8. Skull #271 Evil Egg 2: Egg by Dawn

Coolest egg ever

9. Skull #285 Oil Paint Skull

10. Skull #66 Sparkler Skull

15 other favourites that didn’t make it into my Top 10.

#090 - Pastel Skull
#092 - Sumi-e Skull
#130 - Vegemite Skull
#136 - Skullplant
#149 - Cocoa Skull
#161 - Latch Hook Yarn Skull

Don’t miss out on the cute (and free!) Skullphabet font that first led me to Skull-A-Day. Must have spent around 2 hours that day checking out all the skulls but it was time well spent
