Being a rabid collector of vintage Halloween memorabilia, someone going by the pseudonym ofRip The Skull has accumulated what might be the largest group of Vintage Halloween Post Cards ever seen. There are literally over 1400 thumbnail images of these amazing cards cataloged on just one of his/her many Flickr.com pages. I can’t help but get a vicarious thrill from someone who has such a wild passion for collecting.
This one is just insane!
Sadly, there were no postcards with pictures of Satan on them, but this one (above) looked pretty close.
This Video links to an entire series of short instructional videos on how to apply skull make-up using various techniques – from a brush to a sponge. After you’re done with one, select another from the menu to complete your look. I hope this helps you get all scary looking! Happy Spooky Halloween!
Lego Artist Matt Armstrong created a realistic looking Lego skull by gluing Lego pieces over a non-Lego skull model. Despite the unconventional method used, the finished product still looks pretty rad!
By now, everybody with an Internet connection has likely heard of Dan Aykroyd’sCrystal Head Vodka. Promoted by an ingenious viral video which many people mistook for some kind of a joke ad for Absolute Vodka, the product is actually real: its primary selling point being that it comes in a collectible clear glass, skull-shaped bottle designed by Bruni glass of Milano, Italy. And who wouldn’t like to make a bong out of that? The original run of the product quickly sold out, but can still find it for sale all over, including Here. View the very entertaining, original 8 minute video with Dan Aykroyd on You Tube.
Good Day, and welcome to day two of Gail Blogging about Skulls. Artist / Toymaker Joe Grady has produced his first handmade plushie toys, which he calls “Sklush” (Skull + Plush). While the first two Sklush were made for the Monster Art Rally show (at San Francisco’s Gallery 1988), Joe plans on creating more in the future. Look for him to switch up the colors and graphics so no two will ever be alike.
