On June 4th, 2007, artist Noah Scalin came up with an
ingenious idea: he cut a skull out of orange paper and
posted it online with the note, “I’m making a skull image
every day for a year.” His uniquely witty works became a
wild success: five months later, nearly 250,000 people have
visited the site, many sending in skull photos of their own
and turning Scalin’s blog into one of the world’s top sites.
Why skulls? Noah answers, “why not?” He’s always found them
fascinating—and these days, they’re found on everything from
t-shirts to bumper stickers. But nothing equals Noah’s
incredibly beautiful, odd, and often humorous pieces:
they’re made from an astounding variety of materials, from
toothpaste to melted candle wax, from tea leaves to plastic
straws. One is even carved into a watermelon! (Yes, it was
eaten.)
Each of the 150 skulls shown is accompanied by a brief
description and fun anecdotal stories. As a bonus, there are
four skull projects to make. Irresistibly merging pop,
Internet, and craft culture, this fantastic collection
provides an inspiring example of how to find creative
potential in every aspect of daily life.
