2011 Skull Appreciation Day Posters!

Last Chance: Only 4 Left!

We printed up a bunch of posters for the first annual international Skull Appreciation Day event in Richmond, Virginia on the backs of recycled brown grocery bags to put up around town. The response was so positive that we decided to do a small run of archival prints for sale!

This two-color screenprinted poster is 6.125" x 17.5" (15.55 cm x 44.45 cm) on recycled PCF acid-free 100# cover stock. It is signed, numbered, and limited to only 100 pieces.

Even if you weren't able to celebrate with us in person you can still show your Skull Appreciation Day spirit with one of these posters for only $10. Get it at the Skull-A-Day store HERE.

And don't forget we have Skull Appreciation Day logo shirts and buttons available in the store as well.

Rob Tarbell- “Happy Birthday Noah”

Rob Tarbell- “Happy Birthday Noah” $100.00

“Happy Birthday Noah” is a gift and a theft or a borrow. I stole the idea from the stuffed-bear–in a balloon gift, borrowed some insertion methods from elaborate equipment supposedly needed to impregnate the balloon with a passenger and then the limited lifespan gave it life. The gradual deflation of the balloon slowly revealed and wrapped the skull while staying suspended above the present, as scene HERE.
