Some Day You Will Be Dead: The Alphabet In Real Bones

18x242

Kyle Scheele found a dead opossum. Really really dead. Really, it was only an opossum skeleton, but it was fully in tact. He had already been considering a project in the area of typography, and this just seemed like a perfect opportunity. He started arranging some of the bones into letters to form a quote to ponder.. Once he got started photographing letters though, he figured, “why not just make the whole alphabet?:”

Kyle makes a new thing every day. Typically they are much more light hearted in feeling than this, and he realizes this might be a bit strange for some people.

Iโ€™m aware that todayโ€™s post might seem a little morbid to some people, but itโ€™s meant to have the opposite effect. Like Steve said above, pondering your own mortality is the best motivator to live better today.

We say keep them coming Kyle!

I get ridiculously excited seeing people make things. I just want to revel in the creativity I see in makers. My favorite thing in the world is sharing a maker's story. Find me at CalebKraft.com.
