I have been drawing skulls since I was 7 years old and in my pirate-phase. And I have been doing so ever since. I always drew skulls by hand and just recently decided to do one digital.
A friend of mine was revising his Jackson Stealth EX Professional guitar and I offered to make a design for it. I was inspired by an article in National Geographic Magazine on the catacombs in Paris, stacked with skulls and bones, so I digitally drew a ‘pile’ of skulls to make a pattern. I made a Photoshop impression so he could see the result and it went into production shortly after. It has turned out great, thanks to my friends at The Letterfreak [www.letterfreak.nl].
These pics are made with a smartphone, so they’re not as sharp as you’d expect me to make ‘em. I intend to make a proper studio pic of the guitar once its completely finished!
