Steven Rodrig of  PCB Creations in Newport News, VA sent us this data skull made
from recycled printed circuit boards and components.

Dead Media at its best. It is amazing to think about that just 25 years ago these circuit boards would have been considered too precious or too expensive to throw away and now they end up in the landfill by the truck load.  Thank you for finding a second life for these by-products of our modern-life and also for sharing your work with us.

Custom "Upcycled" Skulls

Sonja Richey is a custom skull maker for all occasions. Her passion is creating unique pieces of art, custom personalized signs, and useful decor from reclaimed unwanted items.

Truly upcycled materials create some of the best works. The melding of the individual pieces come together to become a new entity of art. Sonja has a lot of other skulls, and other stuff, for sale over at her etsy shop. Thanks for the sweet submissions, Sonja!

Upcycled Skulls

Sculptor / Junk Artist / Upcycler Gabriel Dishaw from Indianapolis, IN told us: “I'm an upcycler and use recycled materials such as adding machines, typewriter and computers to create my art. I recently started a series around skulls and what to share them with you.”

“Your Days Are Numbered”

“Greed”

Second C says:

There is something philosophical in thinking about this work.  The act of taking something that has reached its end and using it to create new art that is dedicated to the symbolic image of the end. It's quite a powerful natural experience that one sees repeated in the processes that decompose our world.  Thank you for sharing with us the beginnings of this new amazing series of skulls.
