I'm absolutely blown away by these oil paintings by Charlie Immer and these few skulls are only a glimpse of what this man has to show. At a glance his work seems bright and friendly but soon you realise there is a whole lot of
There might not be many skull paintings by Michael Hussar but I'm glad I could rustle up these few to share with you as this man is so damn talented. If you are into dark, gothic, erotic and macabre style paintings then be sure to
SAS welcomes back the talented and diverse Gerrard King with his new range of skull t-shirts. You will have seen these skulls before as we have posted about them in the past. I must admit, when I initially saw these skulls, I thought they were
These interestingly morbid skull paintings are by Mike Egan. Mike is a Pitsburgh-based artist and I found him through the latest Street Anatomy and Skull-a-Day Skull Appreciation Day show. There is definite reference to religion and death in his works, so not big talking points
These fragmented skull paintings are collectively called 'Doom Loop' followed by piece number. For instance the first image below is 'Doom Loop 19' and were originally created with Cel-Vinyl Acrylic (not sure how it differs from standard Acrylic?) on paper by artist Tim Biskup. I
Pretty intense skull murals and art by Hungarian street artist Fat Heat. He has a superb array of images in his portfolio and many crazy skulls strewn about. His 'About' section is quite a refreshing read, no bullshit and pomp, just passion. Fat Heat's art
One day we shall paint a skull using a cherry picker but until then we will watch how others do it. This massive mural was created by Rone and Meggs for the peoples market in Melbourbe. Follow this link to watch the process video for the
Simple and colourful watercolour and digital skull created by Vanessa Rivera. This is the only skull I can find that she has created but be sure to check out her other illustrations on Behance as they are pretty damn good. Originally found on Eat, Sleep, Draw

Rot is a stop-motion video of a decaying body depicted through the forming of a painted skull, and bones, as the body withers away. Skull face-paint ideas have been very popular on our blog before and during Halloween so thought we would end it off

Not only is Scott Campbell is pretty decent tattoo artists but he also has some interesting alternative outlets for his creative nature. Skulls inside eggs has to be one of the most interesting places I have seen someone put them (pen?). Maybe he should buy
The blurb on Kollectible Kulture states these are "custom drawing of Hugh Rose". So not sure if these are self portraits of Hugh Rose or simply images he has drawn. Whatever they are they are pretty cool. Since I bookmarked this it seems that Kollectible Kulture are
Some skull action by Ron English. I particularly like the Star Skull’s smooth white bone with hints of yellow.
I found a nice little website which seems to be overflowing with glorious SKULLS – Design Inspiration. This religious/holy skull is totally skulltacular and is a great addition to the skull appreciation society.
