"Handle With Care" Skull

HAPPY SKULLTASTIC 2013!!!

Mike da Ponte is combining the strength of steel with the fragility of glass to create some of his works, most especially this gruesome looking figure titled "Handle With Care".


The rugged and abused exterior really carries a lot of character.  A story yearns to be told of how this skull was left for dead under a now uninhabited building, but it's tale will never unfold.  Plus, this totally looks like a Slipknot album cover or something to that effect.  Thanks for the hardcore submission, Mike!

Plasma Cut Skulls

From the left coast of Canada, Chilliwack, BC to be more specific, Ani Harper sent us the following, "I just found you're great skull site. Thought you might enjoy my plasma cut skulls. They are all free hand cut out of 20 gauge steel metal, reverse welded onto a rusty plate and clear coated."


That's some wicked work to be done free hand with such a powerful tool. Plus, I can't believe that we still have such great artists just now finding our site. I guess it's a good way to keep the great skull art flowing. Thanks for sharing, Ani!
