I wonder just how dark the art is going to be... Witkin dark?
Field Trip!

I've always felt I could do something interesting with a real human skull...

Screw that, there's a Ghostbusters fan-film linked on the site, you can actually download it from the film's website. WHO YOU GONNA CALL!

my very favorite roadside attraction/souvenir shop, sadly lost forever to totalitarian health department regulations that forbid one the basic right of keeping piles of rotting roadkill open for public enjoyment & entrepreneurial profit. I bet if you asked with discretion and had the funds you could have walked away with a human skull. it was a weird scene, that place.

I actually already know of a couple similar spots that are still open, a real human skull goes for around 700 USD and up though, so it's not something I'm in a huge hurry to explore.
Fun fact: most of the available human skulls on the market today come from China.

Maybe he was cold before his head came off...

To each there own, my family would shit bricks but morbidity doesn't do anything for me, none of us wanted to see the plasticine body exhibits last year, me for lack of interest and the fam for lack of intestinal fortitude.

Actually, I am planning on taking my seniors to the DAM...just not for this. Oh well, should still be fun. Maybe The Hot Girlfriend of Doom (tm) would want to go to this?
Thanks for helping us terrorists stay cultured and stuff.

Here we are discussing mixed media art involving human remains and you gotta pervert that with talk of being cultured, sheesh.

It's all about the experience for me. I want to try every one once... er, I mean every thing once.
