Crafty Lady Abby went to a zombie wedding in full skull makeup. It turned out so well that she posted the makeup process as a tutorial for you. You might not have a wedding this would be appropriate for, but a Halloween party would be the perfect place to show off your skull skills! Link -via Laughing Squid

An electric razor that shaves close to the bone! This x-ray, featured at Modern Mechanix, was taken in 1941, back when x-ray scientists and technicians didn’t bother wearing lead aprons and spent their spare time coming up weird things they could x-ray. Link -via J-Walk Blog

He told police he’d snapped up the plastic life-size model at a local flea market but strapped it into his front passenger seat because he thought it would be damaged in the boat.

A police spokesman said: ‘It was only when we stopped the car that we realised it was a British right hand drive car – and the skeleton was therefore in the passenger seat.

“We could not make any charges against him as it is not illegal to have a plastic skeleton in your car.”

We’ve featured a few light paintings on Neatorama, but never one as ghastly cool as Janne Parviainen’s Inquisitor, who wrote:

Straight from the camera. When you’re standing two hours in a knee deep snow in minus 20 celcius degrees taking photos, playing with fire starts to sound like a great idea, haha! I only burnt my coat just a little while doing this, oops!

Photographer Francois Robert created a series of pictures in which he arranged human bones into sculptures. It’s entitled “Stop the Violence”, and serves as a warning against the human propensity to kill and destroy. In an interview about his work, Robert explained:

I always have been fascinated with skulls (In my home town in Switzerland, my parents and I were living above a Natural Museum). As I mentioned, I photographed over 140 skulls of animals from the Field Museum in Chicago, and it become a traveling exhibition across the U.S. for 8 years (sponsored by the Museum). In the mid-90’s, during an auction from an old school, I purchased 3 metal lockers and to my surprise one of them held a real, full size articulated skeleton. For years I had it displayed in one of the rooms in my studio and I often wondered what else I could do with it. Finally the idea came to me to explore the idea of disassembling the skeleton and rearranging the bones, and from that process came the series “Stop the Violence”.

If scientists and police investigators can reconstruct a face from a skull, why can’t we figure out what Skeletor looked like before he was a skeleton? David at Ironic Sans went to work, or to be accurate, his wife did, and recreated faces for Skeletor, Manuel Calavera, and Jack Skellington. Link -via Laughing Squid

If you managed to break a bone and got yourself in an arm cast, chances are you’ll have a permanent marker and a couple of friends’ remarks written all over it.

But when illustrator Taylor White broke her wrist in "an epic acrobatic gravity defying swan-dive into the Norwegian snow," she asked her friend Heather Tompkins to turn the cast into a work of art.
