Skull Carving: Instagram of the Artist who Carves Incredible Patterns on Real Human Skulls
His name is Zane Wylie, who lives in Virginia and sells real human skulls online. No, he doesn't steal them from cemeteries, but buys them legally. What's unusual? The fact is that Zane carves very beautiful patterns on them. Thus, the skull of a once-living person, which contained a whole world of ideas and ideas, becomes the material for a work of art.

As the artist himself admitted, he loved everything related to skulls since childhood, and simply adored the Marvel comics "Ghost Rider".

He began using human skulls in his work in 2011, when he found a lot from the collection of a British archaeologist on the Internet auction site eBay.

That skull had once belonged to a seventeenth-century European, but it had lost most of its teeth by the time Zane had found it. The artist affectionately called him Yorick (what else?).

Wiley sold his first works on turtles on eBay, after which he bought more materials and launched his online store RealHumanSkull.com. Here prices start from 4.9 thousand dollars.

The demand for his works is growing, but recently the artist faced difficulties: eBay changed the rules, and now it is forbidden to sell human bones there. Facebook Instagram and Facebook are the only places Zane has to search for content right now, including on Instagram and Facebook.

Zane says that it's not difficult to distinguish a legally obtained skull from one stolen from a cemetery: the bones from the grave will probably show the remains of the earth.

Zane works in the garage of his house. According to him, the neighborhood children prefer to avoid his house.

Before starting work, the artist tries to assess whether he would like it if such a pattern was applied to his own skull after death.

By the way, you can bequeath your skull to him. To do this, you need to make a $ 950 deposit, which is not refundable.

In addition, Wiley uses bones purchased online to make accessories and clothing parts. Would you like to carry someone's bones on you?
