A recent drawing I made of a skull, using pencil on card. I've put it in my etsy shop, I love skull imagery. I thought drawing something a bit gothic would be a good way of marking Halloween this year. The skull is always a reminder to me that earthly pleasures are fleeting and that ultimately we are all headed the same way, it sounds morbid but its true.
As the saying goes: 'Es, Fui; Sum, Eris' - translation; 'What you are, I once was, what I am now, you will be'. The skull reminds us of our mortality. Skull imagery always reminds me to enjoy life but not get too caught up in the shallow things it can throw at you. Do you have any plans for Halloween? I hope you have a lovely one :)
