Spooky hobby: patterns on human turtles

Surprising people in the modern world is not so easy. But Virginia resident Zane Wiley is used to shocking the public. The artist is engaged in an unusual and eerie hobby: carving on human skulls.

As a child, Zane loved the Ghost Rider comic, in which the hero transforms into a fiery skeleton. Wiley learned about the existence of a "market" of skulls and figures from it when he became an adult. Then I decided to try my hand at creating frightening sculptures. The artist acquired his first skull from a well-known resource. The specimen was part of the collection of a British archaeologist. It was the skull of a man who lived in 17th century Europe. By the time of the sale, he had lost all his teeth. So Zane gave him the name Yorick.

The craftsman is engaged in the creation of works in his own garage. The author says that neighborhood children who know about his hobby bypass the garage. Before starting work, Zane analyzes whether the future drawing will be aesthetic and correct. The master is trying to come up with a design that would respect the past of the exhibit.

The artist sold his first creations via the Internet. After that I collected new material and started carving on a permanent basis. Today, the minimum cost for decorated skulls in Uyali's store is $ 4,000. It is worth noting that Zane only purchases legal skulls. The artist learned to distinguish a skull that was dug out of the grave illegally.

In addition to carving, the craftsman is engaged in the creation of accessories and clothing items from the remains. Advertising his products, the artist talks about creativity in social networks, where many fans have already gathered. Some clients purchase decorated skulls as an interior decoration. On our site, a wide selection of original decor items in a more traditional and pleasant style are presented in the section "Home, Interior".
