This is a long-running memento mori series that celebrates life with motifs, humor and having fun with the paint. The skulls initially started as a simple color theory project to occupy my time in the start of the pandemic, and I began incorporating more literal themes into them. There are homages to other artists (can you spot the two Cézanne skulls?), nods to books and movies, and a celebration of all kinds of human achievement. Some are even food themed.
