Sculpture: Octopus Skull Jug
Octopus Skull Jug by Mitchell Grafton
Not sure what I would use this jug for, and yet, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. It's things like this that are the reason I'm not married.

Link Round-Up: September 5, 2014
Prints available for purchase from RedBubble.
"Based on the classic Mucha poster Zodiac, Grand Bazar and Nouvelles Galleries. Colored in Corel Painter. All of the type is names for the structures of the skull. Even the curling white decorative lines at the bottom are actually type (though it’s hard to see at this size). If all goes well, I’ll do posters for other Sherlock characters as well, each in the style of a classic art nouveau poster."
News: Florida contemporary art display will feature hacked celebrity nude pics in an exhibit entitled "Fear Google." Personally, I think "Fear the Cloud" might have been a little closer to the mark.
Margaret Atwood's next novel won't be published until 2114: "Atwood has just been named as the first contributor to an astonishing new public artwork. The Future Library project, conceived by the award-winning young Scottish artist Katie Paterson, began, quietly, this summer, with the planting of a forest of 1,000 trees in Nordmarka, just outside Oslo. It will slowly unfold over the next century. Every year until 2114, one writer will be invited to contribute a new text to the collection, and in 2114, the trees will be cut down to provide the paper for the texts to be printed – and, finally, read."
Wait, why doesn’t this D&D Viewmaster include a slide of the party sitting in a tavern, bickering about which quest to go on?

What happens when you break a sculpture in a gallery Gallery patron sits on bench in gallery, turns out bench was artwork, bench breaks? Ethical and financial panics ensue. The When You Work at a Museum tumblr is full of stories like these (and other entertaining indignities)

Sculpture: Bas-Relief Skulls
Bas-Relief Skulls by New Jersey-based Gregory Halili
On exhibit at Silverlens Galleries in Manila and Nancy Hoffman Gallery in New York.
Gregory Halili creates stunning bas-relief carvings of human skulls
delicately hand-carved and painted on the mother of pearl interior of gold-lip and black-lip oyster shells collected from his native Philippines. He begins by carving the images by hand, then he uses oil paint to dab muted tones of color onto the iridescent
surface.

Sculpture: Bonsai Skull
Bonsai Skull Treehouse
Ocoze
is a young Japanese artist raised in the Hiroshima-prefec and fond of
nature, dioramas and metric analysis. He is the man that gave hands to
the amazing “bon-kei” houses that rocked the web a couple of years ago,
formerly part of the Takanori Aiba duo.
Today Ocoze is doing it all by himself and is taking it to a next
level. This is his latest work. If you're near Berlin, you can
see his work first-hand during The Woods art show at Strychnin Gallery, which began April 12th.

Installation: What Will You Leave Behind?
Nino Sarabutra covered a gallery floor with over a hundred thousand miniature porcelain skulls for visitors to trod upon freely. The whole macabre display is intended to remind its audience that each step we take brings us one step closer to our own demise, and that none of us know which of those steps will be our last.

Sculpture: Very Hungry God
"Very Hungry God" by New Delhi-based artist Subodh Gupta
"My work was conceived to be shown in a church in Barbes on the outskirts of Paris which is largely inhabited by an immigrant population. I made the work in response to the stories I read in the news about how soup kitchens in Paris were serving food with pork so that Muslims would not eat it. It was a strange and twisted form of charity that did not continue for long but raised conflicting ideas of giving and the way we have become now.
Outside the church I served vegetarian daal soup as a form of “prasad” (in India when you go to a temple or a guduwara you are offered food with the blessing). I liked the mix of the Catholic church and my intervention using a symbol that many artists have used before – the skull – and its many connotations.”

Photography: Skull Camera
A functional camera constructed from a skull.
Designed to study the beauty of decay, the homemade 4”x5” camera is built from aluminum, titanium, brass, silver, gem stones, and the 150 year-old skull
of a thirteen year old girl. Light enters through the "third eye," exposing
the film in the middle of the skull. It's either grisly or beautiful, but the debate over which is what art's all about.

Sculpture: Ecce Animal
"Ecce Animal" by Diddo
According to Diddo, this piece “challenges assumptions about human nature, specifically the
tension between biology and society, and how it defines our humanity.”
The compression molded skull is made from entirely street sourced
cocaine and gelatin, and gave the artist the opportunity to work with,
he says, “some very bright people from the world of pharmacy.” I'm not sure what parrt of the world it would be legal to own this, but it's certainly spooky.
