These cute wood skulls (that’s what I said) are created from pine with a lid that uncovers a secret compartment. Well maybe not so secret but it’s still cool. I know what quite a few people would use this for.
These carved wood skulls are available in either white or unpainted and measure 14cm in diameter. Both can be purchased from Acne Jr for €68.90

These lovely, shiny and oh so large carved skulls are created by Thought and Memory and are sold on a first come, first serve basis and on that note of course they are sold out. Man, that Jaguar skull is amazingly carved from obsidian and based on a real casting of a Jaguar skull.
There is also a variety of carved Wolf skulls that look long, sleek and wicked. There is one caved from obsidian like the Jaguar skull but there are also versions carved from Brazilian Agate and Carnelian Agate.
They are beautiful.
I’ve seen quite a few variations of the cyborg skull and this is one of the more interesting ones. It’s been designed by Christopher Conte is expertly made and is extremely cool. You’ll generally see very generic cyborg skulls or those similar to the robots face from the Terminator series, but this skull is less menacing and is a thing of beauty.

These delicately cut-out skull paper sculptures have been created by Danish-born Peter Callesen. He creates a variety of work but we have decided to feature his skeleton/skull based works.
The sculptures have all been created using a blank A4 piece of paper, a medium most of us use on a daily basis and I guess that is one of the appealing factors about this art. He takes the mundane and ordinary and turns it into something simple yet magical. Sorry for sounding like a cliché but you can’t argue. The detail and skill to create these sculptures is another reason why these are so impressive. These are a great addition to the Skull Appreciation Society‘s wall. Thanks Peter!
This transformation mask, carved from cedar wood, is inspired by traditional Native American masks. These masks are normally used in tribals dances with the outer mask being an animal visage that opens to reveal an inner carved human face. This is Anthony Santellas version and what a superb one it is.
The Adventurer’s Diary skull book was created by Souverein for the magazine 3D Artist Online. Souverein is a design agency based in the Netherlands and they’ve got some cracking work. Visit their website here.
I recently bought this Book of Skulls from Amazon and it’s the perfect little book for any skull lovers’ coffee table. The book tells a story of the skull and how, from around the 1970′s, it has enjoyed a renaissance and emerged as one of the most recognisable symbols in today’s contemporary visual landscape. It’s over 150 pages of skull porn – from skull prints to skull sculptures and skull fonts to skull tattoos, this book has it all.
I highly recommend this book! It’s only around £7 ($11) and can be bought from Amazon here.

These violins have been carved into glorious skulls. What’s more is that they don’t need an acoustic body to resonate, but what the fuck do I know about violins – I’m just quoting a user from Imgur, where this picture was found.
We’ve had a load of people sharing these fruit and veg skulls by Dimitri Tsykalov with us on our SAS Facebook page so we decided they definitely needed to feature on the infamous walls of our proud society.
These skull fruit and vegetable designs are lush and the photography of the skull sculptures is bang on too.
