With Halloween coming up this week, I figured it would be an ideal time to produce another morbid inspiration showcase featuring skulls! Portraits of people lacking their skin and flesh seems to be a weirdly popular subject for many artists and illustrators, with skulls and skeletons being depicted in all kinds of art styles ranging from nightmarish horror scenes to humerus cartoon characters. Check out this showcase of 50 illustrations from a variety of talented artists.

  1. Whoa. I could look at these ALL DAY. So inspiring and interesting to analyze, what incredible artists

  2. Don’t think I could get away wearing any of these as T-shirts but they are competing illustrations. I, too, spent a lot to time enjoying these designs.
    Thanks for sharing. Fun to view.
