Gorilla Skull

This gorgeous gorilla skull painting is acrylic on canvas and courtesy of Andy Stonefield. He included this wonderful background story.  "Those in the Milwaukee area may be aware of a famous gorilla named 'Sampson' that lived at the local zoo. When the poor chap died at an old age, they preserved his skeleton and created an award winning taxidermy of his likeness in life as well, both of which are on display at the MKE Public Museum."

Behold the magnificent beast in it's rawest form! Gorillas are the juggernauts of the ape world and even just their skulls are obvious symbols of power. The menacing brow still protruding as if he were defying death by showing a sign of life.  Thanks for showing us that Sampson is far from dead, Andy.

Skully Klaws

Lebotomy is back again with a piece he created named "Skully Klaws".

I know, I know, it's not even Halloween, and I'm already posting Christmas stuff. You know you've been ogling the abundant skeletons and skulls of Halloween merchandise, as much as the glittery ornaments and colorful trees as much as the next person...or maybe that's just me. The legend of Santa is of an immortal man that lives where no other person can go and delivers and bottomless sack full of presents to billions of children in 24 hours/one night. For those who believe in the legend, perhaps instead of one immortal man, there have been thousands of "Santas". Perhaps, they all look like Skully Klaws in their arctic crypt. Or, something less deep...this would make an awesome Christmas card.

Sunday Simulacra - Version 6.21

Today's skulls are mushrooms.

Flemming from Philadelphia, PA said, "Look who is peering down from above this beautiful bloom of mushrooms on a September day in Philly."

Luciana Haill "found this in Burwash TN16, East Sussex." She loves "photographing fungi and use Flickr for some sharing,"

Keep sending those pictures in, we always love seeing what our skull hunters find. Anyone is welcomed to participate, it's fun and it's easy- if you see a simulacra skull, photograph it and send those pictures in to our submissions address with a little something about what it is really and maybe a little about you.

Also here's the current state of the original, I think it's aging well...

Surf Skull

Mascaro Bruce from Poitiers in France designed this "Surf Skull" for a friend's surf rock band.  

I've seen skating skulls, but I can't recall seeing a surfing skull before.  The subtle surfboard is hanging more than ten teeth against a golden sun background.  It's easy to see why he's smiling.  Merci, Mascaro!
