Skull Appreciation Day Follow-Up

Thanks to everyone who made the first annual international Skull Appreciation Day a rousing success both near and afar! There's already talk about how to make it even bigger and better next year.

But first I wanted to share some photos from the Skull Appreciation Day exhibition that is currently ongoing at Gallery 5 here in Richmond, Virginia. These are just a small selection of the 100+ pieces, including quilts and mail art, that are on display...


The Skull-A-Day editor's skulls: in order Justin AKA Tatman, Noah, Abby, and Citizen Agent


 Mail art submissions & Mim Golub's skull


Abby's special artists' preview outfit.

L-R: Abby, co-curator Philip Cheney, Noah, & Justin AKA Tatman

See more photos from the exhibition on Flickr HERE. And see pix from the Skull Appreciation Day craft event HERE.

If you're in the area I hope you'll stop by and check it out between now and the closing event on July 8th.

Also I wanted to point you to a few other fun things that went on for Skull Appreciation Day in the blogosphere and beyond...


Did you do something special for Skull Appreciation Day? Let us know in the comments below.

I'm not as artistic as most of the others here, but I made a "skull appreciation turtle for my daily turtle blog. :)

Awesome, and yet Citizen Agent has stayed safely anonymous :D although I'm sure he was there for a walk-through in his secret identity.
