I always found skulls fascinating. They are the most important part of the human body, keeping our brains safe. Which is most likely the reason they play such a great role in the occult, fantasy, magic and all kinds of stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicolekiefer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Sleeveless-hoodie-men-back-view.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-97\" width=\"151\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"http:\/\/nicolekiefer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Sleeveless-hoodie-men-back-view.jpg 327w, http:\/\/nicolekiefer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Sleeveless-hoodie-men-back-view-237x300.jpg 237w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 151px) 100vw, 151px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In life the skull is hidden by flesh, yet like armor it protects that what gives us the ability to life, to think , to dream and to grow. In death it is a reminder of the person we once where. And going by the science it can tell the story of our life, even when what it once protected is gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Religions keep skulls of their saints as keep sake&#8217;s, sort off. The occult use them for rituals and contact the afterlife. They have a place in mythology, religion and history. Actually they are history, especially when dug up by archeologists.  On top of that they are just bad-ass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how many tattoo&#8217;s or jewelry designs I have seen over the years picturing a skull or several. Since I love fantasy, I have seen them used in more ways then I can count in TV shows and movies. They represent more then just a dead person, at least in my mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested to see more of my skull art, check them out <a href=\"https:\/\/photos.app.goo.gl\/otSN7xXFF4rnLL5s7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skull art was in a way what got me drawing.
