STYLVESTER SKULLONE

⬆️

I love birch trees, the way the white starts to peel and patterns of black on white emerge.  The tall thin cylindrical shape also attracts my eye.  This is why I wanted this piece to be tall and thin.  I had to hunt around for the skull with antlers.  You don’t find too many of these in the big city.  This one had a greenish slime on it from laying in the forest, not my favorite, so I spent a lot of time bleaching the bones, brushing the teeth and such. Properly cleaned up I felt this guy would feel good about coming to rest amongst the trees.  I tried to be minimalist with the skull since I am not very fond of painting on them.  I think it would be embarrassing to the deceased to be tarted up like that, but I loved the shape of the skull and wanted to accentuate it with neon.
