Skull King

I was once again kindly invited to contribute to the brilliant I Want Your Skull magazine by Ryan August.
This time however was extra special for me because Ryan offered me an interview and I created an original paper toy that is included as a gift with the magazine.
My craft is called Skull King and there are 5 different colourways that are distributed randomly.
I tried to design the craft so it would look equally attractive as a flat print that could be hung on the wall.
Issue 8 of IWYS includes 35 pages of artwork by some amazing artists and is limited to 250 copies.
Head over to the IWYS homepage to grab your copy now.
More detailed photos of Skull King can be found here.

Comment by Horrorwood on February 10, 2010 at 6:23am: Alexander - the magazine is great by the way (if you like skulls). Always top quality artists in there. However I do understand not wanting to get the mag just for a paper toy!
I may be putting some of the Skull Kings on my site for sale at some point (possibly in 5 packs with all the colours) though, so stay tuned.

Comment by Horrorwood on February 9, 2010 at 3:26am: Thanks for the comments guys. This one almost looks better flat I think. Actually it was originally intended as a screen print so I kept the lines and forms really simple. In the end it was printed digitally so I refined the lines a little and added the colour.

Comment by 3Eyed Bear on February 9, 2010 at 3:08am: Nice one Jack! Taking time to also get the flatpack shine has the future. Just the mindset of treating your model as a piece of art is the right thing to do :)
