On June 4th, 2007, artist Noah Scalin came up with an ingenious idea: he cut a skull out of orange paper and posted it online with the note, "I'm making a skull image every day for a year." His uniquely witty works became a wild success: five months later, nearly 250,000 people have visited the site, many sending in skull photos of their own and turning Scalin's blog into one of the world's top sites. Noah's always found skulls fascinating--and these days, they're found on everything from t-shirts to bumper stickers. But Noah's incredibly beautiful, odd, and often humorous pieces are made from an astounding variety of materials, from toothpaste to melted candle wax, from tea leaves to plastic straws. Each of the 150 skulls shown is accompanied by a brief description and fun anecdotal stories. Includes four skull projects to make.--From publisher description.
