Hey, Portland-area folks! This potbelly pig skull will be one of several I’m bringing for the next session of Still Death! On June 13, at the Fernie Brae, we’ll be drawing a variety of domestic animal skulls--and some of their wild counterparts, too. More details at http://www.stilldeath.com/upcoming-sessions/

Still Death (stilldeath.com) is a monthly education and art session in Portland, OR featuring a variety of real animal skulls! We start each 90 minute session with an educational presentation on some element of natural history, followed by ample time for participants to draw, paint, sculpt or otherwise create art using the skulls as references. Each month’s selection is unique, and focuses on comparative anatomy as an illustration of how different species have adapted to the pressures of surviving and thriving in the world we all share. Please note this is not an art class; like drop-in life drawing sessions, this is open to artists of all skill levels. 18+ only, please. $10/person, bring your own art supplies (no photography!)
