The new issue of “I Want Your Skull” is out now and Dave and I managed to get some of our drawings in the zine. I did the dirty mullet skull and Dave did the one with the snake. Check them out:
I Want your Skull is an indie zine that showcases the art of skull illustration and design. It’s a pretty niche market, but it’s cool. This issue has a nice feature on Justin “Angryblue” Kamerer. The zine includes artwork from artists such as Dwitt, Doktor A, Shawn Hebrank, Kevin Mcnutt, Jerry Vigil, J. Statts, Tyler Kline, Mike Thompson, Eric Talbot, Alex Barrera, Miss Pinny, Shaun Friend, Punchgut, The Pit, Scott Benson, R.M. Hanson, Nate Nolting, Ryan August, Marald Van Haasteren, Ed Syder, and Jim Altieri.
