Correction Fluid Skulls

François, of Not Dead At All, Trash Art in France told us: "Here are some skulls that I made with correction fluid on a black painted wood! I really like the concept of the site, as I'm strangely a fan of
skulls too!"

Mistaken C says:

These pieces are very striking to me, I love the concept of using correction fluid on a black background.  It cause these pieces to have such a glow to them.  Thank you for sharing your work with us as well as the link to more of your art.  You have an amazing style that I could admire for hours.

Broken Skull

Eric Dinse from Naperville, IL told us about his drawing.  He said: "I have enjoyed the many drawings and artwork seen on your site, so I would like to submit one of my own.  I am an artist who works with colored pencils and markers"

Fixed C says:

I am a huge fan of creating art on black paper.  There is just something out of the ordinary about it that allows you to push the boundaries of what you can achieve.  Thank you for sending in your work and allowing us to share it.

I am Matte About YOU

I recently made what I would consider to be the BEST decision of my life. Okay, well my nail polish life? THAT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL! I purchased Essie's "Matte About You" and I am in love and I don't care who knows it! I've always been a big fan of the flat matte look but until recently I had no idea that anything like this existed. I generally like to go for an understated look with my nails; nothing too flashy, but still something that's got some good energy to it. As shown in my first post, I'm trying the whole taping technique out and thoroughly enjoying it. I have been using basic scotch tape, though I've seen and heard of using masking tape as well (personally, the masking tape ended up bringing up the base polish I was using). I'm starting to get the hang of it and this is what I came up with.

The main polish is OPI "I Brake for Manicures." This color is pretty, but it's definitely hard to figure out exactly WHAT color it is. Depending on the lighting, it changes from a dark brown/grey/burgundy,  to a deep grey blue. I thought I was getting a deep navy when I ordered it, so I suppose be weary of that fact before buying. All in in all, I do like this color and while at first glance it seems black, it feels like a deep coffee brown. Yes, it's all about the feels!

 Happy Polishing!

Greek Skulls

Graphic Designer and Illustrator Thanos Tsiousis from Athens, Greece sent us this pair of skulls.

Hellenistic C says:

With thousands of years of human occupation on the land, it begins one to wonder about their place in this great cosmic ballet. The thousands who have walked that same land and viewed those same sights must be quite humbling. Thank you for submitting this work with us to share.

Black & White Skulls on Canvas

Today’s Skulls are a pair of painting.

The first is from Mish Tiemann of Illinois who we featured once before for another paint job HERE. 

The next is from Mark Taylor who completed this painting of white skulls on black canvas all painted in acrylic.

 Canvas is one of those wonderful material that can be used for a numerous amount of things: from clothes to shoes and from tents to sails there is a wonderful possibility out there of using the painting medium for purposes that are only is limited by the imagination. Thank you both for sharing your work with us you have actually inspired me to go looking for my old pair of canvas sneakers to create with.
